I'm like teeder. I'm near Toronto where there's a million instruments and national dealers. In the past 30 years, I've seen 2 Ric basses in those stores. The smaller shops that sell vintage gear have had all the 4xxx models and a 3001. I've yet to see a 4005 Light Show or GF2030 bass.

A variance on make/model... I was in the music store specifically to check out a certain amp. I grabbed a nearby bass, on a stand and began playing. After a good five minutes, I realized it was a (lined) fretless, not a Ric. Nevertheless, I never once heard a mwah when using my every day technique. ...

Avoid all eBay ads for guitars that come from Japan. If you look at prices over the past year, they've gone to a level beyond ridiculous.

My friend, a rhythm guitarist, has acquired one. I hadn't heard about them, so asked him to explain what the features are.

I have 7 basses and Rumble is my only model... 40 Watt combo at home and 200 Watt combo for gigs.
The basses: Ric 4003, Hofner 500/1, USA P Bass, Epi Les Paul, PRS Kingfisher, Fender Sting (Precision) and a Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Bass.

I use a Fender Rumble 200, 15” speaker. It’s about 175 Watts, only 200 Watts with an extension cab. Plenty loud and you can use Line Out or mic if desired.
