I am about to purchase a lefty 4001V63 Fireglo bass with hard case in near mint cond. Price is $2595. Does this sound right to you or a bit high? Thanks.

Seems a bit high - what year and where are you - if outside the US then it looks like a better deal.

It might be hard to come upon another one in a lefty fireglo, though....

I'd say it's not too bad, considering it's a lefty, and it's almost mint, I'd have to guess that there were significantly fewer made, what year is she ?

Take a look down by the tailpiece and see if there's any cracking to the finish where the edge of the tailpiece meets the body.

How many do you want?

Yeah, brag about it, Peter!

If it's a PMC model, I've seen them go for $2500 on ebay......I'd say they aren't easy to come by; I just saw a lefty C64 sell for $2300 second-hand.

I think 2007 will see 4001V63's going for $2K mimimum.

The 4001V63 was made in August 1992. Thanks.

I'd snatch it up! My ex '92 FG, which now belongs to Jim Glen, has a super neck, IMO.

Mike Parks has a lefty Fireglo one coming in.
