Tempted to say all of them. Really.

Some of those things are really cheap, you could easily do more than one.

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

I would add the Vintage/modern tone switch if its an older 4003.

Easily done with a push/pull pot and a .0047uF cap.

Oh that's really nice, and that amp/cab is making me jeaous!

The pull-pot? yeah. Pulled it has the high/vintage tone. Mine is a 2011

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

Give or take 52 lbs.

 

[A-Step-Towards]

I have none of that and yet I have a 4003.

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

 

[Spleenface92]

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...
