He blames "people" for the unacceptance of the 2000 and 3000 Series but the truth is the guitars were not so great.

I had two 3000 basses and a 3001. Only sold them because I wanted something else. The 3001 is not that special, but the 3000 is a great sounding bass! Very cool bass. I would like to have one again, now I'm more into short scales, but hey... you can't have 'm all. I guess in that period of time short scales weren't as populair as they are now and they were very different than people expected from Rick.

I saw Austin's Flash Boys several times during my 7 years in south Texas. Bassist Mark Douglas always played a 3000 and it sounded great.
