nideckerriderdude Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, its been a very long time since I last posted, sorry about that! I reluctantly have all of my gear up for grabs as I am in need to pay of my student loan! I am selling my much loved 4003 series jetglo ric with rare black pickguard and trussrod cover headpiece! It also comes with a white pickguard so you can choose which one to put on!!! The bass comes with a mint ric hardcase, original brochure and polish cloth (Unopened). It also comes with a fender leather strap worth £35! The bass is complimented with DR Hi-Beam Stainless Steel Strings and set up by the Bass professional at Oasis instruments in Ringwood (A renound vintage guitar and bass specialist). The Bass is Mint, it only has a few surface buckle marks on the back of the bass, its coulour is beautiful and the wood smells lovely! She plays really well and ha an amazing growl when driving through the valves of my ampeg!!! Im looking for senisble offers for this bass before I put it on Ebay! As a ballpark figure i would guess around £1200 is a fair offer for a bass of such lustre! Have a look at the photos below!! The serial number is 32825 for your reference!!! If you have any questions I will answer them happliy!!! Thanks for looking! Edited October 17, 2008 by nideckerriderdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky L Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well damn me! Where in Bmth are you? This is pretty much what I've been after for a while.. except I am now £1200 lighter for a new gearbox and clutch. What sort of buckle rash damage is there? Any pics?

OutToPlayJazz Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm not a Rick lover either, but as the Burpster said, s*** that's nice! I've also never seen one with a black scratch plate before. Best of luck with the sale. Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nideckerriderdude Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 I live near Wimborne if thats any help! You're more than welcome to come over and have a closer look!!! I jsut had a look on the back and actually there is very little in the way of any marks at all! I must have been thinking about my musicman that has got belt buckle rash!!! There are a few very light surface scratches, they will easily buff out with some polish!!!! There is also a very slight mark only a few cm long but not through the paint! And finally a very fine chip on the bottom back edge - All in all it really is in immaculate condition all over, a very pleasing bass to look at!! I just took some photos but the glossy surface makes it very difficult to spot any details!!! Which is good thing of course!!! Like I said it is in mint condition really!!!!

I believe it was another lucky BCer that gazumped me! Probs for the best anyway, tight purse strings and all that. Still, I can always be swayed if another nice Jetglo appears.
