I assume from your update you were looking at a neck through Essence. The back laminate would be a custom item for this bass and I expect it to be very rare. Same for the black hardware. Likewise left handed versions are not as common as right handed. Given this I don't think you will see one of these come up on the used market any time soon.

The rest looks like standard options so if you are willing to compromise on the woods, no back laminate and hardware I think you would have a better chance of finding a used one.

Ditto what Keith said above-

One plus is that if you end up looking on Ebay or Craigslist you're bound to have less competition. Seems like lefty basses always end up going for a few hundred cheaper than right handed ones.

True. I just don't have enough money to get a $6,600 bass yet.
