A bolt on bass neck combined with a 480 guitar.. not my thing, but it sure does look good, and the opening bid is fair too.

Holy prog rock posturing, with polyester pants and plats Batman!

I dig it

$3950 with a day and a half to go ...

Anybody know how much that thing weighs?

I know I sat in the back of a small car with one in it's case sitting on my lap. If you had looked in the car, you might not have noticed I was there.

They are around 14lb. Believe me it's heavy enough

And it looks like it may only be the same two Bidders going back and forth ...the last couple of days.
Maybe a Dive Bomber will try sneaking in, for the kill, at the end of the auction ?

I like it. But I don't have a need for it.

Nice! I used to have a MapleGlo 4080 and a white 4080, so I've been watching this auction closely. I think I paid around $700 for each of them 18 years ago, and sold them for about what I paid for them. The MapleGlo was a beauty, and was in near-perfect condition, while the white one had some fairly heavy finish checking and a bad case of "rubber band neck" on the bass neck - a result of too many improper truss rod adjustments by previous owners. And yes, they are some very heavy beasties.

Now, as I sit staring at the auction screen, contemplating spending more than 6 times what I paid for my last one, I feel the need to beat my head against the wall for having sold my 4080s all those years ago...
