2016 Rick 4003s. I finally got mine. Great bass, no issues.

One sweet bass that won't be mistaken for anything else you got there.

Play it well!

LOL! when i get some more time Jeff.

The lighting in my bathroom better represents the actual shading of the fireglo which is actually quite subtle, per Jeff Scotts request, the bathroom pic:

Very nice & congrats!

Play that sucker with a pick, and it will really come to life.

The bathroom pic puts you a southpaw. Lol

Congratulations! I got the same bass last summer and its stunning, not only in looks but playability and sound! Have fun! It's hard to put down!

Now this looks "right"!

Beautiful bass, I want a Jetglo 4003S, did that come with the black knobs? All the 4003S's I see have the regular Rick knobs. I like those better on them. I thought it was a V63 when I first looked.

Can i ask how much did the "s" put you back?

Begin the day with a friendly voice a companion unobtrusive!

You went to all that trouble to flop the image, the least you could have done was spot out all the little white dots, too!

Nah. No trouble. One click "flip horizontal" in Photoshop Elements. Didn't want to get out the old Spot Tone (remember that stuff?). Besides, that might be toothpaste spatter and I didn't want to degrade the truthiness of the image.

Nice. I'm currently thinking on getting a '77 4001. Glad you like yours!

 

[electracoyote]

Beautiful. Congrats.

Its a nice bass. I played around with it all day yesterday. Im still not sure what kind of strings I'll run on her, the Dunlop SS superbrights I put on are almost to bright. Im thinking of trying some nickle strings.

Has this model had a re-shape of the body, specifically the upper horn?

 

[EdwardofHuncote]

Spot Tone! I used it ALL the time! Different ones, as we did toning for clients (sepia, brown, selenium, etc.). Lots of work (and patience needed) to make them look invisible. Photoshop make pretty quick work of it by comparison.

See... now you gone and done it. Somebody's going to say Rics don't look right until you photoshop them.

Seriously, nice bass @lowendblues. Every time I see one in Fireglo it makes me think about getting @Ric5 to fix one up for me.

Man, that looks gooooooood! Congrats!

I use Dean Markley Blue steel med lights and they always sound better after they settle in. I like a RW string to settle in on any bass I play though.
