it will happen, though not soon. Wife just killed the music fund, will take a couple months to build back up.

Congratulations, you are well and truly screwed GAS-wise. If the funky ergonomics work for you, Bass Nirvana Awaits. I would highly recommend getting one of @Aceonbass custom Ric-O-Sound wiring harness that operates through the single jack hole you will have on the 4003s. Then you can bi-amp it, which is where the true Secret Sauce of a Ric becomes apparent, crushing lows through one amp, and sparkly highs or distortion through another. The Piano of Doom.

lol @ jack hole

4004 models use humbuckers & they are dead quiet, but they also have more balls than the single coils in the 4003:

wow a real comparison without the slap fest....nice. I like it. Just saw the Cheyenne on the web site. no chrome. even better. Looks like the 4004Cii is the one for me. Will need to find one that I can plug into my D-800 just to make sure.

so is there a secret place to get good deals on these?

"Pick of the Ricks" gets good reviews.

You aren't in the clear yet! @Ric5 makes killer 5 string conversions that actually work. I think he charges around $400, but don't quote me.

Why would the Mesa and Epiphany rig be better? Sell the Mesa and Epiphany, Try the Hartke LH1000 or new TX600 with any of the HyDrive speaker cabs. will BLOW YOU AWAY!

trying not to laugh out loud

No way I'm getting tricked into playing a second model. Its gonna cost enough for 1, not gonna risk liking both. but then again, what can it hurt. right?

what can it hurt? your wallet... must relive that GAS pain.

I was in the same shoes as the OP. My cure was easy, I had no money and someone else bought it! Well that was until yesterday when I noticed there are 3 avaliable in Walnut and maple...my favorite combo!! Now what do I sell???

Beatiful pieces of art, but my "Monk" side doesn't agree with the fives...3X2 machine heads...

They sound similar although the 4004 has likely got a little more lows... However The 4004 is not very attractive for me aesthetically wise.
I prefer the 4003 in fire or maple gli (tale this as my two cents being a Fender guy who, however, decided to play bass after listening to Chris Squire's Heart of the Sunrise... GROOOWL).

Because it is.

All subjective.

 

[DigitalMan]

All subjective.

Being subjective doesn't mean it's not true.

 

[electracoyote]

You found a bass that speaks to you, and that is one of the things that makes this life worth living.

And the wife got a sweet acoustic. Cool.

Best of luck with that acquisition. Where there's a will, there's a way. Please report back with a full NBD report.

 

[awilkie84]

Being subjective doesn't mean it's not true.

It also doesn't make it true.

 

[DigitalMan]

It also doesn't make it true.

Of course not. In this case it simply is true.

Welcome to the dark side. We've been awaiting your arrival. Fill out the included paper work and we'll give you your robe and dagger.

I thought new 4003s members got a cape and poodle boots?
