Heritage is a good company to deal with. But, being the cheap-a$$ed guy that I am, I get turned off by their "buyer's premium". I much prefer a one-size-fit's-all pricing approach.

2 of the tuners have also been replaced. Don't think they mentioned that in the description.

If you look at the fine print on Heritage's website, the buyer's premium refers to the surcharge a buyer pays at the close of auction. IIRC, it's like 20% (?) for the Ric bass. The percentage varies slightly from auction to auction.
