Got mine!

LOL...remember the 4005AF?

Still have mine!

Right, the only auto focusing bass in existence.

I saw that they were available online on Wed afternoon. They might have been available earlier in the week. I ordered mine Thurs morning. After my order was confirmed, I started this thread.

Im gonna eagle eye that page for the next month in hopes more come in. Ive been wanting a Horseshoe since 2007. Question is when it comes in, should I get a toaster to make a 60's era Ric or get a mike lull TB pickup and make it like Lemmys original rick?

I'm pretty sure you'll see plenty of these for the future.

I sure hope you are right Wints!

I heard from Richard today that the horseshoes should be back in stock later this week. Not sure if that's just to fill the orders they have, or if they'll be really back in stock though...

Eden.

I thought that too, when first announced.

It's not like EVERY RIHS pickup that's been on Ebay hasn't been marked up by 4-500%, and quite often by RRF members.

Well, I ain't gonna be sellin' mine on ebay...

A fair statement for sure. What I was thinking was the sort of person who would buy as many as possible to create a false shortage and then resell at a marked up price...

I'm sure (or hope) there are those on the forum that would actually know if this sort of thing was happening.

+1! Mine will be put to use.

I may be selling a '73 screw-pole bridge pu instead.
