Title: A piece of Ric modification history

Misfits 4001 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/292176639345). Easy project.

This bass was abused and smashed, but the neck/body area didn't break despite that huge swimming pool routing. That neck heel should be donated to scientific research.

I have one of Jerry's oversized armbands from a 1999 concert. It was a great show.

Sorry, but that is just sick. And not in a good way. :-\

Either a truly serious (or seriously deranged  :mrgreen:) collector, or a shill is among the bidders.

Where is the Ric-Gestapo when you need it?  :popcorn:

What that "bass" needs is a nice burial cermony so it can find peace and solace with its ancestors.

One mans trash is another's $5,238.

Just think what it would have been worth if he did it to one with checkerboard binding. 8)

A fool and his money are soon parted, but chances are that the buyer is hoping for a greater fool somewhere down the line.
