Reading Guitar Show PICS - bass and guitars

Peter,
I tried blowing up the lefty Ric 330 but I can't make out the price at all and I can't remember. BUT Did you see the lefty bass 4005.
I think that reads 1968 at $8000.00. Is that about the right ball park for one of those now?

Hmmm. Something's not right with your pic, Peter. Is that all you have left, BTW?

I would say $8k is in the ballpark for a nice '68. Interesting Fireglo!

Why blow it up? Did you dislike it that much?

Did you see the lefty bass 4005.
Where? At the show? Or did you mean mine?

Sheena, I have a couple more basses and a few 6 and 12 strings like this...

Wow! That is the first lefty 381 i've ever seen, Peter.

That 381/12 has an interesting pickup placement...

Yes John, I was told by the original owner that he custom ordered it that way.

That's cool, Peter. It has to sound a bit different too. Beautiful guitar!!

I would keep it as my ultimate 12 string but I can't get my sausage fingers in!!!

Sorry, I'm confused.
The 4005 in the photos is not a lefty.
I can't read the price tag either.
So, what was it going for (if anyone can remember)?
And it was from POTR, correct?
Thanks!

It was $8K, and not from POTR.

Thanks John! (I think. Eight grand, huh ...)
