Mighty nice. I'm surprised he's selling it. If he really just had it for a few days, and can't afford it, he should be able to return it.
Well, it's probably the best looking Ric Bass on Ebay right now.
Something else we are thankful for today....

I love it & would probably go for it as I am a total FL convert, except... that the new FL's don't have side of neck markers at each note. For FL purists this would not be any problem but as a novice I think my learning curve would be a lot steeper.
I did a full 1 1/2 hr live set with my band after owning my 83' FL for only one week. I took a fretted bass along as a saftey net but played the FL for the whole gig.

I think it is easier to see " where you are" when the sidedots are only where the fret markers would be. It's less confusing.

He uses the SHIFT key to squeeze that extra note!
