Beautiful. Not $3000 beautiful, but beautiful. I like the black guard look over the white on these. |

Yeah, it's totally drool worthy, but damn... $3000... uh, no thanks.  It also kind of turns me off when sellers are like, "I COULD SELL THE CASE ALONE ON THIS THING FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!@1!!!! IT'S THAT AWESOMETACULALR AND WORTH SO MUCH MONEY AND RARER THAN DINOSAURSSS!!@!!@!@"  I mean... I understand the guy wants to sell the thing, but anyone who is going to be serious about ponying up that much cash for a used instrument is going to have a pretty good idea as to what they're buying. |

Looks like it sold for $3300. He's gonna be real pissed off if John Hall ever decides to build lefties again and the resale market drops by 1/2 |

This makes me really consider selling my '79. I can't think of another brand that's appreciated in value as much as a Rick in recent years.

Faggitabout Macca, it's all supply and demand. ain't no supply, so you can demand near-astronomical prices. Can you imagine what they'd be worth if the 'official policy' became "We will no longer make lefty basses"? |

Excuse my ignorance, but who is the most famous lefty Rick player? why, it's me of course! Paul McCartney comes in as a distant second. |

Doh! the answer was too obvious! Yeah, and I guess Paul would qualify as an "occasional" Rick player!

Lefty 4001s are becoming too much expensive. But you know maybe it's better to pay 3000 or more $$ for a vintage rather than waiting two and more years and not being sure of the result. Seeing how the market goes i think that soon i'll sell my 75 4001 too to buy a new house

Dang, $3300. Maybe I'd better sell my '79 before they go up some more.
