He is probably a decent guy and I have a feeling that I would like him if I knew him but his auctions have that used-car-sales-lot smarmyness to them. I know he has to be a self-promoter but he lays it on a little thick sometimes. Amusing though.

Does he have a Lawn Jockey in one of those pictures with the bass? That is totally disgusting and insensitive. I'm all about having a little fun, but I wouldn't buy from that guy if he had the last RIC on the planet.

Well, it's 'creative' writing, if nothing else.

It looks like a nice enough bass. I've never been a fan of the black binding, but I know there are several forumites that are.

And I'm possibly on the look out for another but, not from this bass.

Any steel on ebay should be nervous however...

......I may be wrong but I actually like the lawn jockey Image. Just about anything is offensive to somebody......

....the Ric is nice but not for anything near what he is asking, IMO.

I'm not "up" on black horseshoes, but are those just spray painted? That's what this one looks like.

Hey Jaymi, how are you getting on with those Rubies? Did I read the other day the Azure and Cheyenne went?
