There's a thread right below this one in this forum:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5108

And Addison is a great guy to deal with.

I agree Addisons bass is really nice and a great board member, another would be there one that was spotted by Frenchy.

Lastly I picked up a Rickenbacker 330 Guitar guitar a few weeks ago from Chris at Pick of the Ricks. He does not have any leftys posted on his site right now but he may have one is the showroom or perhaps on order. Chris is an expert on Ric's and I thought the price I paid for my Ric guitar was more that fair.

Thanks fellas...

And for the record, my bass is priced fairly... if not a little lower than mint lefty Ricks are typically going for right now.

See for yourself... these are "SOLD" listings on eBay right now:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4 ... Complete=1

Add to that... Mapleglo, or "natural," is now a discontinued finish option... and, I hate to say this, but, you simply do not know what you're going to get from Rickenbacker these days. It is really hit and miss with those guys... I bought a bad one and so did fellow forum member Matt R. I personally would not buy another without being able to get my hands on it first, unless it was from someone completely trusted.

The bass I'm selling is absolutely kick ass... I'd stake my reputation on it.

Verbiage from my ad for 1985 V-63 Fireglo Ric, all genuine parts & pristine shape.
-Joe

NEW Pictures!
VERY Rare & Personally Signed: Vintage Rickenbacker 4001 V-63! LEFT HANDED & excellent+ condition! Classic Fireglo lacquer finish.

Serial # YK 2067, 1985.
The V-63 (Vintage RE-issue 1963) 4001 series was discontinued 20+ years ago, not many around.
All original Rickenbacker equipment, maple body & gloss varnished Vermillion Rosewood fretboard.

Classic Rickenbacker tones & sounds:
the punchy bridge pickup & piano-like "Toaster" neck pickup.
Plays & feels WONDERFUL, perfect balance, neck & intonation is sweet.

Personally signed by the late / great CHRIS SQUIRE, of YES, in 1994 on the "TALK" tour. I met him back stage thru some friends in the YES tribute band "Fragile".
HE took it from me and said:
"Why . . it's BACKWARDS!!", in his charming & jovial way,
after my "Wayne's World" presentation of "I'm NOT worthy . . "
His sig. has faded a bit, but I have a closeup picture of it when it was fresh!
This bass listed @ $3,289 + 15% for left handed = $3,782

I'm disabled w/ inoperable neck & back issues & can't work, or play anymore except on the couch.
I'll be selling off all my other guitars, amps & basses soon, also.
RIC hard-shell-case included.

The "MAGIC" happens when you play Am7 chord from "Silent Wings", ABOVE the 12th fret.
NO OTHER bass get's that sound. PERIOD!
Fresh set of Swing-bass ROTOSOUNDS JUST INSTALLED.

I've had / been playing this bass since 1992, I will miss it.
I'd LIKE $3,900 TO LET THIS BABY GO . .

Ideal, VINTAGE bass for another lefty player. NOT interested in trades or dealers, need to downsize my arsenal before I move.

Other: V-63, 4001s on E-bay & elsewhere: NONE are as clean as this & NONE were signed by the "Schindreleria Prima Taurus"

It's THAT SWEET, a Bass rock Bazooka!
Make me an offer I can't refuse.
