I had written Mr. Music about the bass, and they sent me a message the following day. Happily I was able to tell them I had already secured one. Here's their email:
"We do have two coming in, I'm not sure what were gonna sell them for yet, but we do have a lot of inquiries on this bass."
I realize it's their bass and they can sell however they want, but it just seemed like bad form to put it on ebay instead of selling to a loyal customer. Just my 2 cents.

Ah, didn't know that, Keith. Hopefully, I 'll see it by mid-week.
I'll have to send Bruce a thank you card or bring him something when I go back to Rochester at Xmas to visit.
Cheers

I don't know how the dealers are chosen to handle these one-off rarities, but I would think only the most reputable ones would be considered. Its disappointing as a consumer to see this "attempted gouging" take place.johnhall wrote:That's not speculation but a fact.

Hi Jeffrey, yeah but I'm leaving in a few days, will be back here in January for most of the year. Incidentally there is a Rickenbacker dealer here, found it online, not sure if he is a real dealer and if he has any in stock but was nice to see.jps wrote:Back in Peru?rictified wrote:...(and I'm pretty far from home right now anyway).
Careful, thinking of mod options voids warranty!DoubleThink wrote:I've brought the SnowGlo home. She's just so awesomely beautiful. Mind you, the wheels are turning. I can see a horseshoe + a toaster added. Also, a back painted white guard. Mind of a tinkerer.
