its real

GIBSON RD ARTIST ELECTRIC BASS GUITAR PLUS HARD CASE

whats the verdict?

[Redbird]

It has to be a refin. Gibson would have painted the neck. Also you can see it used to be an anitique burst?


Looks great in purple.

yes, theres no doubt its a refin - sorry I meant it was real, as in someone has actually done it, rather than just idly considered it a possibility!

Anyone brave enough to take it on stage though?

They state in the ad that it was painted. Cool twist on on the otherwise standard color options.

I would certainly be brave enough to take this one on stage :mrgreen:

anyone have prince's phone number ?....maybe morris day & the time although i think theyd be a bit too tough for a purple artist.

speaking of artists, mine went... and i kind of messed up. bidding war outside of e bay through private messages without there being any actual bids. one guy was up to $1550.
wasnt too sure about the repercussions of ending your auction early (im new to selling on there) so i stuck it out. come to find out the big offer guy
wins it for $1100 and some. :D i am so smrt, s-m-r-t. its ok though i just wanted my money back and got that.
*sniff sniff :cry:

WTF $1125 ?????


Let's all refin our RD's Purple

Come on the rare almost mint antique burst only sold for that, but a refin?

Shows you Ebay run on emotion and not logic.

:lol:

wow ...thats strange .
it'd maybe be something else if the neck didnt look like ass
and actually matched. i guess i shouldve painted mine aqua
or pink or something. next time.
hey redbird are you familiar w/ any of those chicago thrill jockey
bands/projects/members etc ? (tortoise, sea and cake, isotope 217)
