I always wanted a Blue Boy and here is the one on ebay now: http://cgi.ebay.com/RICKENBACKER-4003FL-Blue-Boy-Fretless-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ270121881112QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The price is right , but the timing bad and I will have to sell my 78 4001FL Walnut to make up the budget hole. I really can't make up my mind.
What are your thoughts. Help!!!!

Thats a good deal. I bet you can count the number of fretless Blueboys on one hand.

If you like the color, do it. That's a decent price.

I just noticed that the seller will not ship. Pick up only. So much for that idea.

Maybe a Forumite could assist by picking it up

I am in PA. I can get it for you. I have been debating hitting the BIN button myself so hurry.

I am in Maryland. It's a little over 2 hours away.

Todd or Ben thank you so much. Of course I will reimbuse you for the total postage costs. I am hitting it.

Yes hit it before Elys gets it!

Good job!

stts64 · Post by **stts64** » Sat May 19, 2007 9:36 am

Done and paid for. Can you pick it up for me Ben?

ben_brown · Post by **ben_brown** » Sat May 19, 2007 9:43 am

I certainly can. Give me the address and I can probably get it tomorrow.
Did you tell the seller someone else will be picking the bass up?

Now check your email....

Oh SteveBen

Now, would I ever ace someone else out of a bass that I know they desperately want in a heartfelt way? NO WAY!!

Congratulations, Kris!! You got a great deal on a great bass, and I know you will really enjoy it

SteveBen will take care of seeing that it goes smoothly! That's how we Southern Marylanders treat folks, like family!

It's all in jest Elys!

...But you know that Ruby red would have looked very nice in my collection of 5.
I made the call but to no avail!
