Is the market on Ric's kind of soft at the moment? There was a '96 4001CS up a few weeks ago that I managed to resist with every fiber in my being (as much as I'd love it, there are other basses I want more). It had some minor road rash, I don't think it had the cert, and someone had swapped out the 'guard (which is something I'd probably do anyway, if I had one - not big on sig basses). Seemed the $2200 price reflected any of the negatives and then some.
Not a single bid on it.
