A rare one indeed and in great condition. Thanks for finding this one John. You have to love Fireglo!

That's nuts! I have an email acquaintence in LA who told me just a few days ago he saw something like this-left handed as well. Don't recall if he commented on the color.
Find me a right handed one!!!

Anybody know how many of the model 4005/6 were made?

Damn! That bass is perfect for me. I'm a lefty, I love Ric basses, and I have several "old-style" 6-string basses.
