I have to wonder what the hell people are thinking sometimes. Or should I say, not thinking.
Can't wait to see what it goes for. I'd consider it for parts, but if it still goes for over $1000 then I'm locking my Rick in a vault for the next 20 years.
That "thing" sold for $736 less than 2 months ago - unless this just happens to be another blue 4003 lefty limited run-in-with-a-chainsaw issue... http://cgi.ebay.com/Rickenbacker-4003-M ... dZViewItem
...Otherwise it just keeps coming back like some unstoppable zombie.
(Now the asking price is a bit over $1000!?! And looks like it hasn't ever been cleaned - then again maybe the perp's prints are still intact....)
"Still trying to find some wine-tasting-style way to describe the almost-Jaco tone the bass player had going on."
I don't know why anyone would pay $700 for that thing, but I'd definitely drop a couple hundred on it assuming it still plays fine. Too bad there's always a sucker out there willing to blow the pricing curve for everyone.
