So I found a 1978 4001 today for $1100 I dont have the $ but this is hard to pass up. Im thinking about trading in my bassman 300 and or doing a great pedal sell off for it. I played it for about 2 hours this morning and I actually felt like a better bass player. Im still thinking about it I just needed to get it out and off my chest.

Wow, unfortunately they don't come that cheap over here.. Well what you can call cheap of course, but I still love to own one, someday^^

This is the cheapest I have EVER seen one.

Yeah I haven't seen one that cheap in like ten years... Personally I want a Japanese Lawsuit [ greco or fernandes] ric, I've seen some really nice ones but I always miss them one of these days....

I dont think I can live without a rick for much longer. When I got home and picked up my ibanez it felt and played like a toy

great price fo sho... jump all over it.

Depends on the Ibanez I would not trade my main bass of over 17 years [SR505] for a RIC. I like Rics and have played a few that were THE SHIT but that bass holds it own against most basses to me. Really I want a fretless one RIC though, first RIC I ever played [same day I got my 505] was this ugly pinkburst fretless that just sounded godly. But if I pay the RIC price IT HAS TO BE BLUE

I'd sell anythign easily reubtainable, at a later date. Also borrow money from your buddies and pay it off with free studio time and stuff like that.

do what you gotta do(that is if its not a faker). you'll be bummed if it gets away right?.

Yeah I mean if you REALLY want it what are you REALLY willing to do

Sorry to post twice, but you should ask if you can set up some sort of payement plan and pay it off monthly.

it will be gone within a week. i can guarantee it

this comes from personal experience

Yeah me too... I had the chance to get a robin's egg blue mustang bass for under $500 and I didn't want to drive up to Seattle that week

buy it full stop

unless its trashed

+1 and probably not the only one, that's the VALUE PRICE of the year! I've seen 4001 bodies alone sell for 800 $US (the prices for genuine Rick parts have gone fucking paranormal).

So buy NOW refund tomorrow by selling stuff. Just admit it - the furniture was in the way when cleaning the house and it didn't match the carpet anyway. Besides, it's perfectly fine to sleep on the floor, we have just been spoiled with beds and stuff here in the Western world.
