Proof that lottery winners end up worse than before they won.

I wonder if he's open to trades... I've got an ultra-rare Fernandes acoustic guitar I could part with. I'd probably have to toss in a little cash with it, but it should be close to even.

Saw this while browsing today...

1970 Rickenbacker 4005LS Lightshow “Prototype” Bass the earliest one produced !

I don't know how

Way overpriced. I'm gonna offer $84,500 and ask him to pay the shipping.

Beautiful basses, love that T-Bird, but I think his prices are..ahem... a little optimistic.

I was happy to see how much a '64 T-bird has appreciated. I'm considing underbidding him by posting mine for $50,000. I can cut & paste some of his copy.., with enough changes to make it different. (it's the copy he selling really) Mine's not that "girly color" Frost Blue, which I realize is well worth the additional $50,000, and it's a II (not a IV like his), but heck, it'll be a steal at 1/2 the price!

Here's a good one I have on my "watch" list. I'm so tempted to offer him $850 and tell him he can keep the pick-guard.

Never seen the bass version (super, super rare) but I have seen guys with the guitar version. It's definitely a cool stage look. But you need to plug it into one of these:

I wonder if its one of the two basses hanging on the wall in this video:


It shows up around 3:46. Bling to the max., but never intended to be more than a kind of " concept car" to display at shows.

Ermahgerd... Just when I was starting to think I _did_ survive the 60s... it's all coming back to me now...

I was quite surprised by the pictures, I've never seen anything like this bass. Although I do play a Rickenbacker, I didn't know they mad a bass like this.

Then I got to the pictures with the lights on.

This bass has lights.

Ok.

And knowing Rickenbacker, only Rickenbacker bulbs or diodes can be installed, or it voids the warranty.

About $75,000 over priced... might be a decent deal if they throw in the car and those other guitars.

In a related posting on craigslist...

Rickenbacker 331 LIGHTSHOW with original case

That'll be a phishing ad.

 

[Flaked Beans]

Oh yeah, I will buy it tomorrow.

 

[drumsnbass]

Everyone here should get on eBay en mass and we each offer the guy a grand just for the fun of it!

 

[the general]

$85k....must be nice living in never neverland. Maybe I'll go visit the seller when I need a break from reality

 

[Gilmourisgod]

Crazy thing is, some Japanese collector will probably buy it, another vanished rare guitar.

Isn't it just a Rick 4005 with a couple of slabs of MOP pickguard material screwed into the body??

Yes it is.
