WARNING: maimed Rickenbacker content

While searching the bay for nice stuff to pick up, I came across this one:
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/Rickenbacker...1%7C240%3A1318
Why would you do that?

Or maybe it was some extreme anti-GAS therapy?

I reckon it is probably just a cosmetic thing though - I doubt that the sound will be affected. Someone could pick up a lefty Ric for next to nothing!

799 Euros is about $1000. Pffft.... Unless it was Sid Vicious' bass, that seller is dreaming...

That thing has been up at least once before. No wonder right? That said, a little bondo and a new paint job, and that could be a player. if it was $400 USD I'd jump on it.

I thought I remembered seeing this bass before! I guess the guy that bought it didn't dig the jigsaw look after he received it. lol

The saddest parrt is the seller's delusional concept of its value - that's way overpriced! As was said in a previous post, maybe $400.

We could all guess what happened to it. I'm guessing it was a 12-year-old with an electric scroll saw and nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Yeah, people are dumb sometimes. I once cut the lower horn off a beautiful P style Charvel fretless, clear over mahogany. Dumb.

It seems like I've seen this one on here before also. I'm guessing the original owner of the bass pissed someone off, and that someone went to sawing on his/her bass for revenge.

you forgot about the binding. you would need to bondo it, re rout the binding slot and than finish it. that color might be a bitch to match as well i would say $300 tops

Crystal Meth.
This is the best "don't do drugs" ad ever.
This is your bass. This is your bass on Crystal Meth.

I wonder if Dave Hall is going to get offended and pull that ad?
