As much as I would love to hold onto this baby, the surly individuals in the dive bars of this town combined with 20+ year old basses is not a cocktail I want to witness the results of.
I can't get my hands away from the Pedulla I picked up recently enough to justify rick ownership, I believe there are greener pastures out there yet for this axe.
It has had one previous owner, there is no belt wear and it is in considerably good shape considering the age.
I believe it is dated at 1985 according to the Jackplate, any aficionado's out there, feel free to correct me.     
Pedulla's, High-end fenders or cash would be the best bait to get this fella into your woodshed. Feel free to shoot me a pm with any questions.
Edit: Reduced to 1450US!

For a straight sale I would like to see 1900US, shipped via UPS Express to your door in a heavy-duty Flight case, I will post up pictures of the case if this is still here by Sunday. |

Mine is Azure from what I have been told, if I am wrong please let me know.
As for the asking price of $1900, that is a bit high. I have seen those models go for 1300 to 1500 in recent months. You never know, the right person may come along that has to have that exact color.

| | | | According the Ric website, your bass was made in August '85. Azureglo and Midnight Blue apparently overlapped for two years: '84 and '85, but I have no idea how to tell the difference. |

He's within his rights to ask his price, whether or not you or anyone else agrees with it. |

My wisdom teeth = Your Tone! 
In regards as the PM's I have received, I appreciate some of the beautiful offers but I am currently not in the market for fretless, or another 5-6 string at the moment, sorry!

I believe it is dated at 1985. | If 1985 is "40+ years ago", I suddenly got a whole lot older.   |

$1300US shipped is more in line with what Rick's have been going for recently. will ship via UPS in a fitted hardcase, boxed with insurance.
