All I can say is WOW.. Thats one F'ed up bass.... It was a beauty at one time. Man, if my woman did that to one of my basses, I would cut one of her arms off in revenge. That's just messed up. |

How do you do this and who and what and when??!?!?... If someone broke in to my house and took my Rickenbacker I would prefer that they actually stole it instead of just rape it and leave it for dead. I love the way the seller tries to downplay the fact that the bass looks like shit: "As you can see in the pictures someone has cut pieces from the headstock and body of the bass, This does not effect the playability only the looks." True, but still... |

I say we track down the former owner and burn him at the stake. That's just wrong. Not only that, but it does even appear to be an attempt to re-stylize it either. Just hack it off, and you're good to go.

Genius! Like WWII dazzle ship camouflage - nobody notices the 'upside down' triangle markers on this left handed neck. Can tell by the remains of the "cresting R" headstock. (The older lefty Ric's had 'righty' necks/headstock but this blue one is some type of hybrid - and that apparently 'bothered' somebody) |

Is there something wrong with me when the "upside down" triangles bother me more than all the chunks cut out of the body/headstock? |

That's how lefty Rics are made now. Even though they finally went to a lefty neck they still put a right handed fretboard on them I assume that they put edge dots on the top, but I have no idea. Considering how J. H. runs his company, probably not! |

RIC must be following the Buckaroo Banzai mantra: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rickenbacker-4003-B ... 286.c0.m14 Looks like the inlays here are 'lefty-appropropiate'. Maybe that blue one came from the Custom chopShop. |

Actually Ric just switched to lefty fingerboards either late last year or this year, so newer Rics have them, whereas Rics from a couple years back have righty boards. |
