I lurvs Rickies but they seem to play very differently than other basses IME. The feel of the strings and fretboard is kind of strange... almost "floppy". It makes them eeeeeasy to play which is a little jarring to a derphound (that's me) used to playing on nasty P(ig)-Basses. Like the tension/action is off but I never had enough time to adjust my P(ig) smacking style to the velvety smooth feel of a Rickie.
It looks awesome though (did a googly moogly) and I'd lurvs to have one. The stereo out is a wicked bonus for what we do as DAW dorks (one to outboard gear, one to DI... BRILLIANT, always wanted a guit that does that).
Lots of cashola though but if you can afford it I'm sure you'd lurvs it.
That handrest/string cover might annoy you though but I'm sure it just pops off with a bit of screw loosening. I like that idea meself because my biggest problem playing bass with my fingers is not having a comfortable place to rest my right hand with out destroying the sound/muffling the strings and proper right hand bass technique wears out my hand/wrist and futzes up any concept of precision. That of course could be remedied with practass but ain't no Beeps got time for dat.
tl;dr
If you got the dough... doooo eeeeeetttt!!!!
