Well, the seller does say the price is high and is open to offers, so offer him a more realistic market price and see how it goes.

1967 4005/6 LH, only one in existence. $15K BIN.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

Dorothy ought to buy that for Paul as a Christmas gift as it it probably the rarest bass in his book.  :)

Nah. Don't need the bass, but do need the photos. I requested same from the seller. Hope they can provide. Nice catch, Ilan!

Very reasonable. Somebody actually wants to sell it rather than just show it off.

I've always wondered why theses sold so poorly. Price or sound? Never saw one in a store.

This one will bring a hefty price.

I wouldn't have been surprised if it had gone that high. It's hard to predict.

67/89 Lefty 4005 - GBP 10K (US$12.4K) BIN

The seller writes - "Only two left handed Rickenbacker 4005 bass guitars were ever made, one was a 6 string finished in Fireglo and this 4 string Mapleglo is the other one.
This bass was originally made in 1967 and was archived/lost in the system at Rickenbacker until it was unearthed and completed 1989. It has a 1967 serial number and all parts are from that era apart from the finish which was applied in 1989."

Paul - can you confirm?

I can't confirm the numbers ("only two"), but this and the lefty 4005/6 are the only ones I've seen photos of. Can't confirm the "late" finishing. This Mapleglo 4005 was/is owned by Peter Levett in the U.K. and although a photo I have of it was not used in the book, it may show up in a second edition.
