[J. Crawford]

Santa Fe, and I know. I dont know too many details but Im definately looking into it. Hes getting me pics ASAP, and you uys will be the first to see them. Thank God for you guys, I wouldnt have anyone to talk to.

Ahh, my bad. El Paso. My bad. I think thats it, I woud say its something Spanish but in Texas there arent too many cities without Spanish influence.

 

[swbest3]

el paso is 12 hours away....i guess you'll just have to gamble!

 

[J. Crawford]

Haha. Im waiting for those pics, thatll be the true test.

i got a Ric for $200 way back in 95. thats quite a while ago so the price might not be the same but a crazy steal can happen

My long time MySpace friend recently messaged me and said he was getting three Rics for 450 bones. I guess one of his best friends is the sister of Paramores bassist, but he said hed sell me one for 250, but Im thinking its not for real. I know the kid, and hes truthful but this is too god to be true. I guess shes pretty rich, but has to buy her own car and needs the money. He will sell the natural finish and black ones. any ideas?

Have you ever met this "friend"? Remember, you can be anyone you want on the internet.

+1 I somehow missed the "myspace" part of this discussion. If this is a myspace "friend", I would have to say that you are probably on the edge of being hosed.

online friend? hmmm. sketchy. but if youre gonna do it , try to pay thru paypal or something. atleast some protection.

How do you figure that?

I'll trade a red jag bass in perfect condition for one of those ricks if you're interested.

You should get him to take a video of him playing the bass or something. Or get a pic of a serial number.

 

[Fool]

come on.... a RIC for 200?
Your the Luckiest Sob in the world or.....

 

[popeguilty]

I'm located in Texas...Where abouts is this $200 "Ric" bass?

same here

 

[Weimhunter]

This is what I would do. Tell him to mail it to you and if it is legit send him 300 bucks.

 

[EagleMoon]

So how long does it take to get the pics? We're waiting here....

 

[Flintlock]

Ask him where he got the basses from. The Paramore bass player uses Fender P's as I recall.

My thoughts exactly. I told him Im only going for it if I have a pic of the serial number (for you guys), and some tye of vid. It sound s too good to be true, but its worth pursuing. This is why I came to you guys, my family isnt exactly musician friendly. This cat is real though, I mean hes not a scammer, atleast as far as I know. Hes going to try them Saturday, but any kind of update you guys are the first to know. Any chance you could subscribe so you can help me out ASAP?

I threw a few pics up, but hes going to "purchase" the basses this weekend. Hes getting me pics then. he is definately a bassist, he has pics of his basses and vids. I know this might be a scam, but Im not going to let this go.
