There's can't be many more of these, if there is even another lefty Ric 5 string, but wow that is a high price. |

I had a '94 I bought brand new, but sold it to someone in Austrailia back in 2000 when I severed my wrist & though I was done playing(plus to pay for medical bills). It was very neck-heavy, and didn't really have the traditional Rick sound. There was also one from a lefty-specialist seller in the UK last time I looked. I'd be curious to know if he gets his price. I can think of many other basses I'd spend that much on, but I could understand someone wanting it bad enough... To it seems more like a $3k bass though. |

He dropped his price to $3850 Still a little high. If I were a RIC guy or a collector, thats a nice catch but I also agree, $3000 is more on the fair side. |

I'd asked a local music store about them initially. They contacted Rick, who said they had one in stock, and then he wouldn't budge from full retail. About a year later I was talking to a luthier friend about it, so he called them up & asked - they let him have it for wholesale despite him not being a dealer. I still have the strap I used on mine. It's a 3"-wide woven strap, but to help counterbalance the neck-dive I taped about 2lbs of steel to the end of the strap.
