Some knucklehead wanted to trade me a V63 Rickenbacker w a parts wound '60's pickup. Here is the kicker he had it listed for 3k on Talkbass but told me in private conversations that I would owe him money. My rhetorical question here is he stupid? I think so! Here is why. I see these V63's sitting on eBay @ $2700 and $2500 and no one is buying them. Most of what I have been observing have been on eBay for 6 - 8 months. If u review I had my Triple O listed for 4k and he had his V63 isted at 3k how then would I owe him money? What an jerk. Here is something funny about his thread now on Talkbass he relisted it for 4k saying he is now looking for an Alembic but doesn't want any wanking or silly triple o. He wants something tasteful w a versatile electronics package . LMAO! Guess what ur not getting my bass. This is after u tried to pry it away from me & tried to tell me I owed u money. So I told him his bass was worth $2500 and I didn't want it and ticked him off. Aw I am so sorry I hurt his feelings. I feel more stupid after negotiating w that clown.
Any way the bass has been traded to an outstanding Talkbass person who is very highly regarded. I just thought I had to share the other story w u. Some Rick owners want very high end basses and put there basses in the same league w the likes of an Alembic that he wouldn't know what to do with.
If ya think I am being insensible by writing this or ya don't let me know.
