I'd have to question said "APPRAISAL"....

Posted: **Sat Feb 14, 2004 6:14 pm**

that is NOT a 60's Rickenbacker ... it is definately a late 70's 4001 .... wasn't this same bass up before with the same false claim of being a '64?

It is NOT worth $2600 ...

Either that is a fake auction or somebody got ripped off ...

Or there is a conspiricay to jack up the prices of Rickenbackers

I emailed the seller and the buyer and informed them that it is not a '64 bass and it was not worth $2600 ... I said it is worth about $750 ...

Well it just shows how much you know, Jeff, someone ended the auction with BIN!!!
Maybe it has solid gold pickup wire...

Haha! If this has been appraised at $ 3500, I sure wonder how much my 4080 is worth... S***!

Dont you guys know anything? Thats obviously the long lost '64-'79 Chris Squire black trim model. In the elusive "Pale White finish".

Seriously though, I wish I had something that resembled a 4001 CS right now. I'd sell it and buy a couple of new 4003's.

$2600??!!

whoa-better clean off all my "appraised" pieces

Posted: **Sun Feb 15, 2004 9:05 am**

I wonder how long it is until we see this one relisted for another auction...

Posted: **Sun Feb 15, 2004 9:48 am**

You know ... I should put this bass up on e-bay with a Buy it Now for $6500 ... and watch it get snapped it in the feeding frenzy of cream colored basses ...

Posted: **Sun Feb 15, 2004 2:20 pm**

No wait Jeff, you should post it up there as a "custom order Five String", kinda like that "custom shop" 1976 fretless that got listed with a $4000 starting price....

Jeff,....I hate to say this, but If you dont play her much you might want to consider that. I'm not sure whats going on with ebay right now but damn......It really makes you wonder.

Maybe its Yes's 35th anniversary .

Posted: **Sun Feb 15, 2004 5:00 pm**

The way they are going nuts for cream colored basses, Chris Squire basses and tuxdedo basses ... man I am tempted ... With $4000 to $6000 I could buy a 4004CII5 and a 4004L and a 4003 .... cool ...
