Not to my knowledge. It was offered to me from a fellow regular forum member who was kind enough to part with it.

It would be difficult to part with it at this point. I bought it because the price was so low but quickly fell in love with the sound and feel. Red is a very unpopular color it seems. I like the color a lot and would buy another red Rick.

This is a color combo I will get someday. I have absolutely no intention in buying the same Rick in different colors at all. But MB/BT just is a beautifull color combination I think. My Birthday is 17 june. So if you decide to get rid of this bass that would be a good time.

That possibility is always there. I have bass ADHD sometimes.

crazy lift though.

I discussed this bass at length with the seller when he listed it last time. he thought the lift was normal to the bass. Nice guy but I don't wanna deal with it. i believe that if you offer him something below that price and use the PayPal eCheck, you'll get a better price.

Nice buy Sean. Not usually a fan of the BT basses, but I always liked the Midnight Blue/BT combo like yours; the Blue is really nice on the older basses too (or maybe it's just the combo).
