That's a good price for a new 4003, especially if it includes shipping.
These guys on eBay asking $3000+ crack me up. A late-model 4003 in really good shape will go for $2200 to $2300 on eBay.
Even brand new, Pick-of-the-Ricks only wants $2200.
http://www.pickofthericks.com/new-left- ... er-basses/There were a couple of FireGlos on eBay a couple weeks ago for a buy-it-now price
or best offer of like $1900. They sold within minutes. The seller even accepted an offer for one of them. (Maybe it was the same one relisted and the buyer didn't follow through.)
