Me too! Here's my friend Amy doing her best Tom Heslin impression with my '73. Her roommate made her dress up exactly like me. Right down to the Vox python strap. LOL! Yeah, I KNOW - it looks better on her!  :P

Skate Rat - cool! The one time I played a Ripper, it totally reminded me of a long scale version of my Guild. Nice fit.

SKATE RAT

thats "Betty" the best bass in the world! but they did make full scale JS I & II's. i'd like to get one someday.

Interesting...

Lots of interesting features, but I'm not sure if I like it. Maybe if it had white trim instead of black?

I'm so far out of current events at RIC that I didn't know they had an official outlet.

With the checkerboard binding and the fancy top, the bidding on this one will get way up there.

With its walnut body, it must sound different from a 4003. I don't know if that is a good thing though... Maybe more like a 4004? In any case, a stunning looker IMHO.

I bet you're right.
Nothing is what it seems but everthing is exactly what it is.

I'm not a fan of Mapleglo, but this is a cool bass. Much better with black plastic than the traditional white, IMHO.

Dave W

$2800 with a day to go. I wonder if it will hit the $4000 mark.

Lefty 4000... How rare is that? In Fireglo, and routed for a neck pickup and four pots under the pickguard.
