Having never actually played one, I don't normally get excited about Rics, but this one certainly caught my eye:

Wow, what an awesome finish! I like it even better than my Mapleglo 4003!

Betcha it doesn't last the day before someone buys it.

well, I was close, lasted about 24 hours. Anybody here buy it?

It has been relisted, at a higher price naturally. If I didn't have a BFR Sterling on the way any day now and working a deal on a B3 I'd buy it. I've never had one. If my B3 deal falls through and it's still for sale... I don't know ain't 22 basses enough?

It's relisted by the same owner. I wonder if the original BIN fell through and he got wind of what the bass could fetch on the open market???

Haven't seen the new listing, but the old one didn't have "bass" in the title.

I hope so, but I've also seen a trend lately of sellers playing "It sold so fast and got so much positive response that i think I'll just back out of the deal and list it again for higher" on Ebay.

If you look at the old listing, someone bought it at the old BIN of around $2K. Then it gets relisted a day or three later with a starting price equal to the old BIN, and a $600 upcharge. We'll see if he doesn't get slammed by the jilted buyer in his feedback. I've never had someone backout of a transaction on the bay, but doubtless it has happened.
