Well, that's not your typical lefty, either. It's a V63 which costs quite a bit more than a typical 4003. Now, if you'd said, mourn for lefties who want a V63... sure.
It's the same thing for many many many many manufacturer ... Mostly in black ... Cheapest in their line or the most expensive of their line Most don't offer anything for lefty If they offert lefty they have an upcharge
Rare or not that price is way inflated. Rick market value has gone through the roof in recent years, and scarcity has only made it worse since Rick has no intentions of making lefties anymore.
It's true, it's a bit rarer than your average uber rare lefty Rick, but that price is still way out there. You won't see a normal lefty Rick for less than $3k anywhere. If you see one somewhere besides Ebay you're pretty dang lucky. I've never seen one in real life.
I Had a Left handed Rickenbacker. Sold it and made some good money. I miss it every so often. but still love the sound of my P-basses.
Are you serious? You're actually bass ambidextrous? I've often thought of giving it a try (I play righty, and would like to give lefty a shot). Lots of people switch from righty to lefty on other things (pitching, batting, boxing), so I would certainly imagine that it's doable. I'd give it a real shot if I had a lefty bass around here. I bet the exercise would be great for "thinking out of the box", and would probably help with dexterity, as well.
