Delivering new lefty basses with righty intonation seems to be the new hype. Gibson does it too. |

It's brand new (apparently); why wouldn't it come with a case?

The saddles are incorrectly adjusted opposite of what they should be. |

Oh and they also install righty controls wired lefty, which equals no taper. As much as I like Rics, they are one shit company when it comes to making quality lefties. |

The saddles are incorrectly adjusted opposite of what they should be. Thanks - I'd never heard of that. I also didn't know why my control pots basically acted like on/off switches for the first 22 years I owned my Ric until I read about that here too. |

Yes, it is something to be aware of. Check out how my G&L arrived: http://i.imgur.com/tdBjHbk.jpg You can see on the bridge how the G string saddle is the furthest back, and each next string is a little more forward. This is a red flag that the factory slapped on bridge that was "pre-intonated" for righty instrument, and that the instrument is not intonated properly. This is backwards of how a bass typically intonates. When properly inonated, the G string is usually the shortest, the E is the longest, and the D and A are in-between the two. Also, if anyone wants to correct the goofy stock wiring harness on a Rick, I highly recommend contacting Aceonbass through TalkBass. He does use righty pots, so they will turn backwards (I am sure we are all used to this by now), but they will taper properly. Further, he uses more appropriate pot and cap values. It made an immediate and noticeable improvement to my 4001V63, and I really never use volume or tone pots. |
