You forgot the bass case - that's what I'd get first.

Out of curiosity, how much does the OP's 4003 actually weigh?

IMO, the treble pickup bezel and the Schaller strap locks are all the a ric needs.

Ah crap...I keep reminding myself I need to get straplocks for my Rick. It's my main gigging bass, and duct tape only works for so long.

You forgot a set of files so you can get the nut properly cut on a new RIC...:hiding:
