There were other carvers before Richard Seccombe (pictured), but he apparently did the most and was last to do them.

sorry but $22K is just insanity.

It certainly seems insane to me (relative to what other collectible/vintage Rickenbacker basses sell for).

But I do understand the high market for these, even if I feel that $22K seems uncharacteristically high for one.

They check a lot of boxes - hand carved, limited edition, artist signature, and out of production for a long time now. I've seen less significant instruments eclipse these in price, easily (Jimmy Page LP or Van Halen Frankenstein replicas, anyone?)

Pocket change, for some people.

Dang! Well, luckily I like the bass I have!
