That's sad...
Still, a potential project for someone here hopefully. This could be one of the few remaining cheap FWMOP/CB basses out there. Looks to have the early Grovers too. An early 72 possibly?

We are assured that it is perfect. Hey, I'm convinced.

Yes, definitely an early, maybe mid 1972 4001.

Could someone please tell me the color of the pickguard? I tried matching it with crayons, but I don't have the BIG box!

LOL! I'm scratchin' my head over that one too, Charley! I think I'm going cross-eyed looking at those pickups...

He does a great job of describing it. After all he used the word rare twice in two sentences. By the way if something is already rare I don't think it can be very rare.

Somebody needs a good thrashing with a big stick for cruelty to a Ric !

It looks like a Fender had it's way with a Ric inside a Gibson case.
