That could be cool. You might be able to find some weird oddball 70s neck with a 2x2 headstock for cheap too.
Here ya go. Some dunce is trying to cash in on one right now

I say get it.
Yeah tweeters suck but a decent deal on a 3015 loaded 215. Speaking of cabs looking for a friend for a good 410 cab for a mid/high end, crunchy kind of tone.
As a Greenboy loyalist I'll refrain from making comments about LDS and the fact that the guy said its directly comparable to a Dually, but that's an awesome price on what is likely a monster of a cab.
How long you been playing?
I started by borrowing a friends older brothers starter pack and never giving it back in 10th grade, after like two years of crappy lessons, I dropped them and just jammed by myself a bit, then started playing with some guys. Now though for a while I've been a bedroom guy, jamming when I'm in town with people and we can get something started. So I play alone, and amass gear so when I find a new thing I am ready.
Thinking the T-40 might be a decent little investment. None for sale over here, other eBay sales going for a lot more and I can always sell it down the track if I ever get a Ric.
...or not sell it and have a T-40 and a Ric.
I always read T-40's were very close in tone to a ric
I got my Hosa low profile right angle patch cables in today. They're even thinner than I thought they were going to be, which is great. The only down side is the jacks on my HPF-PRE are just a hair too close together to accommodate two of the cables side by side. It's due to the location of the power supply jack and leaving room for a battery. I had to keep one of my old right angle patch cables in one jack, still saves me quite a bit of room.

Started in college when I was 19 for no real reason. Ever since I was 21 and for the past 5 years I've been in a band for most of it. Been lucky to have lots of people to play with.
There is actually an amazing drummer in my neighborhood I used to play with, I should get back with him once I right some tasty stuff with the El Oso.
Problem is most guys I'm friends with who play, love metal core or math rock stuff, and I just can't handle it. My best friend and I were starting something before I moved to school, but not enough time to do anything much. Currently he's trying to be the screamer, but the guys he's with are lazy and they got half a song recorded and written in the last 6 months.
Denton is a big music town but haven't met anyone yet who plays, and I am nervous to approach the musicians at university, because we are on such a different level I'm very intimidated (UNT is a Huge music major school).

Having both,I can tell you,the T-40 very solid bass.But also very heavy.
The T-40 has low end in spades.No matter what I plug it into,I find my self having to roll off the bass dial.It doesn't quite sound like a ric,but it can growl harder than a ric.Huge sound,but not the easiest thing to play.I managed to import mine from the states for a little under $500.
Should you ever come to a gig,you're welcome to have a noodle on it.
I find t-40's pretty often down here and every so often really want one, but I'm trying to stream line, I think between a P bass, Bronco, and EB-0 I will be fine.
Also all three cost under $300 together. Quite a leap to go for a ric, which looks cool, but I still don't get the "ric sound" no one who plays a ric sounds the same to me.

mc- the Rickengod will convert all sinners one day
Askrere,my one actually came from Texas.
I find rickenbackers need to be paired well with a good amp.Because they don't have a lot of low end,you need something big and beefy to dial it back in again.The big selling point for me on a ric was the way it played...just unlike anything else.
