Does This Look Legit to You?

[OldManC]

I have a line on this bass at a good price (for a used Ric) and I've always liked the "S" look. My problem is that I can spot obvious Chinese fakes, but I don't trust that a good copy might get past me. These aren't great photos, but does anything stand out to you guys? I remember this color being used a few years back, but I want to make sure I don't get scammed.

Looks fine to me , but I'm just a fan .

Looks like a Ruby 4003S in great shape. Definitely not a fake.

+1 for not fake. Looks good!

Thanks, guys! I have an appointment at 6:30 tonight, so hopefully it's still there.

Looks legit. Hope you get the bass!!

Got it. The owner was a guy not too far from my age with a nice music room in his house, with guitars and basses on the walls. He's selling off the stuff he isn't attached to so he can convert the room into a bedroom and bathroom for his 82 year old father who will be moving in soon. Nice guy, super reasonable price that I didn't try to negotiate with. He said he'd played it once or twice since he bought it (he said he thought it was a 2015), and it looks like it. I can't find a mark on it. It's got a decent setup and sounds really good, so I'm pretty happy!

Nice , congratulations . There's nothing quite like a nice Ric , but they're a completely different thing than those Fender Shaped Objects .
I just have two , but I'll probably be buried with them .

Sounds like a real find, as well as a very pleasant purchase experience. Congrats!

Nice! Good for you, and seems like it was good for him and his father.
