Now that is a Ric bass copy I would buy in a heartbeat. Trade whatever I could just to own it.

It looks close enough to a Susanna Hoffs to make me jealous, but far away enough from one to not make me jealous.

Yes,the body is the same on the 350 and the 325(except hers is fancier) and I think hers has a RIC humbucker in the bridge.

Seriously, how do I get my hands on one of these?

I've looked at the Fernandes site and Googled it but can't find these models anywhere.

Did the seller leave strings on when shipping it? Either it wasn't packed well and the seller owes you a refund or UPS/FedEx does...
