After annoying my fingers on Sunday, I want to bevel the pickguard on my current Rick.

O l did it before on another bass when I was a more active player. Last Sunday i actually tried to figure out how I could be hurting my fingers, but was left without a clear answer. I need a SLO-MO VIDEO!

1978 White 4080/12 Gumby headstocks. $3,550 BIN.

Seller says John Hall has confirmed that a few were made with Gumby headstocks.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

I won't be surprised if that brings more than 5K.

If I were in the US I'd hit the $3,550 BIN price and resell for a nice profit.

$3550 is the current bid, not a BIN. Maybe the seller changed it to a starting bid sometime after you first saw it.

Yeah, Ilan actually got me thinking about it, bit yes, that's now a bid not a BIN.  :-\

1972 FG. $3,499 (Make an Offer option)

What can you say... Other than a non-original bridge pickup, she has it all, including the cap. At a price of a same-year Fender Jazz.

The price was right and someone probably made a good offer and won himself a classic.

Yep, an old member there, known as a Fireglo fanatic.

Hi All,
New to this Forum, I did indeed win the lovely 1972 shown earlier in this post , I'd previously bought a really nice Mapleglo v63  from the same seller, so I knew he was decent to deal with.

I'm on the hunt for a period correct Bridge Pickup.

And, guilty as charged, I am indeed a Fireglo Fanatic ... I've been playing Rics (mostly Fireglo's), almost exclusively since 1973.
