Someone must have told the Blackstar seller what it is: the header now is "Rickenbacker 4003 SPC Blackstar Electric Bass". Still $1,900 and 0 bids.

It's in rougher shape than the economy! Still, there are three days left.

A stunning Fireglo S... neck-thru. Unrealistic BIN but the pics are borderline porn. Save them for your desktop wallpaper!

Oops... just gotta go change...

Beautiful...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

It's been a long time since we've seen a 4080 double neck on eBay.

That's a reasonable BIN on the 3001. I'd rather have a 3000 though.

Beautiful crushers! Is that Paul W's work? The new binding with red dots is a nice touch.

It is Paul W's work. It was made for Shaun (a.k.a. henry5 on RRF). It is a May '73 MG original without full width inlays. I could find several pictures of may '73's with full width inlays tough. So it is period correct. The red markers are not period correct. ;-)

I think he nailed it, the inlays look very convincing. Not many people know how to do this.

The $1,900 Blackstar ended with 0 bids. It's a buyers market now. 3 years ago they sold for twice. And the 3001 MG/BT sold for $950.

I wish I had (even) deeper pockets. A shadow went unsold also this week.
