That's pretty funny! I didn't know that Fender was making Rick copies.

I bet there's a tail or two behind that one!

It looks all white though.

Hey ... that's the real thing ... a Ric tuxedo bass ...

definately worth more than $500 ...

I'd definitely bid if I had the funds. His misidentification could be someone's gain.

Haven't you always wanted a 5-string Tuxedo, Jeff!?

It says "one owner". How can the original owner not know what make of bass he plays?

It also says "one piece." That's good; who'd want a bass in pieces?

I already got a white /cream one ... almost tuxedo ... my neck is wood colored ...

OK, How much will this beauty go for?

mortivan · Post by **mortivan** » Sat Sep 13, 2003 4:14 pm

A lot less than it could, I'd bet.

I think I'm like a lot of RIC bass enthusiasts, searching E-Bay for "Rickenbacker bass" and sometimes "Rickenbacher bass" for the occasional misspelling.

The seller's mistake is probably going to be costly.

Yep, but the current high bidder is one of us (frankensteinberger=Gregg Silagyi).

Cool. Best of luck to you Gregg! She's a beauty.

The 4003 Tuxedo is a limited edition.
Were 200 units made like the Blackstar?
Does a certificate come with it like all limited editions?
Would anyone please enlighten me?

Wondering the same thing myself, How about the Red Neck ?
