Bass NW has one http://www.bassnw.com/Used%20Basses/ric ... RD1976.htm
DAMN! that is over priced though.. that is over $1000 more then I payed for my blue one.. Music stores have gotten stupid of late.. they look at the prices on ebay... and well the thing about RICs on ebay is there are all these basses listed at really high prices that no one ever buys that get relished over and over and over... so the value of the things is not really what it seems...

another prob is these music stores that bought their instruments at inflated prices 5-10 years ago and are unwilling to believe that their guitars are not worth what they were when bought.

All their attitude about this will do is make more and more buyers deal through private sales vs stores...

It can be a fun place.. depending on the sales dude... I've had good and bad experiences depending on that... I haven't been in there though since I moved down here though... I think I have been back to Seattle maybe three/four times in the last 5 years :lol:

Oh and after lots of A/B-ing the blue one is more aggressive and deeper sounding then the red one.. neck is bigger too :idk:

I bought my G&L through BassNW. They were great to deal with, and matched a much lower price I found online.

+1 Another one for BassNW. I bought my ASAT from them and it was truly a magical experience, (thought I did make the journey with a ex girlfriend :vomit: )

Prepair to have your dick explode when you walk in. Its fucking magical in that store.

I am with you on that as well, while I go to Old Town Music a lot (because it is one of the best stores in town) They tend to Jack up prices to what is currently being offered on the internet. The days of good deals are all done off of BST pages , and I have learned a LOT from reading stuff off of here rather than going out too shops all day long.

Nice work mate, just the right amount of strings... :thumb:

I think pics of my BTB are a few pages back, maybe I'll take another tomorrow to really throw a few more peppers into the gumbo.
