'98 Ric 4004 Laredo Red with maple fretboard (current fretboards are bubinga). It is certainly a rare finish on the Laredo (I'm not sure exactly how rare but I haven't seen another so they certainly aren't common). The action is low with no fret buzz and the electronics work as they should. The body is maple, condition is excellent with no chips or scratches and comes with original HSC. $1750/OBO.

The red one was custom made in 1998 for the NAMM show, check the sticker inside the control cavity. I used to own it and it's 9.0 lbs even and has the most amazing tone.

It is a wonderful Ric and I wouldn't part with it if isn't wasn't for my recent Wal purchase.

Thanks for the info (and bump)!

+1 for that black bass. One of the coolest Rics I have seen.

Okay-

I have to stop drooling over these. One thing will lead to another and the next think I know, Bass Number #12 hits my collection, and Mrs. Jazz alienates me for another month. I'm only allowed to trade something like my Special Edition Alembic...Or sell it to get into this one. Ohh...That'll hurt too. Better look elsewhere... Jazz

Geez.....talk about an unwanted Ric stepchild!

In as "new" condition as you can get for used. There's a loooooonnnnggg wait if you want a new one. Truly RIC's best kept secret.

$1550 shipped

This is making me sick. I'd offer a trade, but it would voluminous and border on an insulting low-ball; I'll just bump it so I can feel like I participated.

Someone has to want one of these and there isn't a finer used example out there. (IMO) :ninja:
