Very nice looking, playing, and sounding left-handed Custom RIC style 6 string bass (handmade by a local guitars/basses builder). It's in really nice condition. It has very little playwear- a few light indents on the side and on the headstock - barely visible- and that's about it. All the electronics work fine. The bass has a very smooth and easy playing neck and great feel. The balance is absolutely superb sitting or standing.

It looks like a Rickenbacker bass, but it's not a real one! That bass was custom build by a local luthier from Montreal. Basically, I tried to combine Fender specs and Rickenbacker look, also including a modern sound from active pickups. So, the result is a one of a kind bass!

We can close/delete this thread now. I changed my mind and decided to keep that bass.

Thanks!

Hello Sec-Def,

I'm actually thinking about selling this bass. But I'm not in a hurry for selling this bass and I don't want to give it away. So I'm pricing it according to what it's worth for me to let it go, and that's $1000. I'll post new pictures of it (since it has a new pickguard and new pickups). I just installed a brand new set of D'Addario strings on it.

Also, It will be free shipping for US (continental) and Canada only !

Thanks
