Tome un préstamo para la hacienda. I wonder what the reserve is?

It's a collector out of Arizona, I don't expect it to go very cheap.

Now , why can't Ric re-issue one of these.....That is a sweet bass...

I don't expect to pay cheap.Of course if he's thinking 10K or something, then forget it.

I wouldn't think so with all the routing and non original parts, but with the current silliness on ebay we'll see.

Fascinating.
I think I've seen that bass before. Can't remember where, though.

Looks like the 57 Michael Anthony has. Please don't show any more pictures as I will have trouble sleeping tonight.

I believe the bass is this one:

It was on gbase for a while at $2800.00 I think.

$2800 would be no problem. I have this feeling he wants double that.

I saw this and immediately came to the forum to see who was drooling over it!

Not MY cup of tea, but it looks like a beauty! I would be afraid to even take it out of the case!!! Good luck, Marc, I am thinking $3600 should get the job done.
