A new Ric 4003

Very cool...I recently threw a set of Chromes my 07 4003 jetglo and I am loving it. Really brings the sound of the wood out. I find the rounds tend to bring out the more of pickup sound, which is very cool as well.

Yea, I like chromes as well. I have a set of them on the other one.
Yeah i have a MapleGlo with Deep Talkin' Flats also, SUCH GOOD TONE! It Seems Kinda Ironic to Put Flats on a Ric, BUT IT SOUNDS SO GOOD!
Great looking bass. I got a 4003 Jetglo and I've been gassing for a maplego but one RIC is enough for me. Congrats
Hadda take a quick look behind me to see if mine was still here. Hell I figure somehow you jacked my photo's, cuz I've got exactly the same shot.

Man, it must be nice to satisfy your every $2000 whim.
TMBTC, I'd say you were given bad info. Why wouldn't you be able to put flats on a Ric?

Mine (05 4003) was hard to play when I first got it. Since then I put a lighter set of strings on it (roto .095-.040) and tweaked the neck so it's allmost flat and lowerd the action a tad. Now it plays like butter. The neck is thick and it takes some getting used to but now I find it pretty comfy. And when I go to play my jazz it's like the neck is a toothpick. I want to play a 4001 someday to see what the neck is like as I've read it's a thinner profile.
LOL!! No, these are my pictures. Yours had the MIA sticker still on it. But yes they do look identical. The serial# is 0947567. What's your serial #?
Actually I still have the push pull sticker attached too! Think I might channel Minnie Pearl and leave it there.
As for the serial it's 0954709. So close, as they say, but no cigar.

Mr. Mig, I am jealous! Nice lookin bass!
I'm Glad to hear you say that. I was wondering if I'd like the Chromes on a Rick when I get mine. I am even more sure now than ever.....

I got mine in 2006, the first year they started putting the push pull pot on them, and the stupid sticker telling me which one to pull left nasty residue on my pick guard. I still haven't managed to get it 100% off.
