NBD - Ric 4003 Jetglow.

Always been a Fender man. Recently got the itch for a Ric. After watching some vids of Foxton, McCartney, et al, decided to go for it. Man, I know these things are a love/hate thing, but count me in the "love" camp. Tone to die for through my Walkabout
head and Mesa Powerhouse 2x10 and 1x15.

Beautiful fit and finish, amazing resonance and sustain. I still love my CS Fender P, but class me as a convert!. Will post some pics later. :bassist: PICS NOW BELOW!
 
A true classic, congrats. And a great amp/spkrs to show what it can do- love the Ric/Walkabout sound- again, a classic.

Thanks Man. I gotta say that my WA with the Ric sounds better than I have ever heard it. I tried a couple of Rics yesterday through and Ampeg SVT tube set up and 8x10. Don't get me wrong, that was a fab sound and set-up, but through my Mesa rig...Whoa!!!
 
Here's some (rather festive) snaps of my Ric... That bloody snowman in the background has his eye on it already...
