Replaced tuners with new Schaller, but otherwise stock. Beautiful shape.

Nice bass, why do people insist on replacing those "bad" tuners? I like them a lot. High starting price though.

I didn't read the guys dissertation on this when I saw it this morning..."nasty open tuners"...what?
I've NEVER had a problem keeping my 75 4001 (with those nasty tuners on it) in tune. My bet is this guy really wasn't the "bad-***" fretless player he thought he was and blamed it on his tuners.
Guess the starting bid is high, but if his reserve isn't $1200 then that's OK. Other than the tuning pegs it looks to be in rather fine shape.

I have three basses with them, they work fine, other than turning my other ones backwards once in a while I have no problems at all with them, I think they're kind of cool actually.

"This bass has beautiful tone if you know how to play it. It sings like you wouldn't believe or can be EQ'd to sound like a tuba. It is extremely versatile."
but why would somebody want their Ric bass to sound like a tuba???
it looks like it had the grover tuners ... they a prone to falling apart ...

The holes look like they are too wide for Grovers. Some of the old EB-3 players had a tuba tone like the guy from Free, I liked it. Hey I'm a former tuba player, what do you want?
