Yep on other sites I can just load pictures right up with just one thumb. But my bass is pretty. Trust me.

Yeah I'm all iPhone nowadays. Have no idea how to change pixels on my pix anymore.

I can't post pics here sorry.

Thanks I love it! Went too long without multiple Rics. Time for the Ric hoarding to begin!

Always loved the look of the Ric's without binding and never thought I would be able to grab a new 4003s this quickly. I was sure I was gonna go Mapleglo but the Jetglo was irresistible. Love the neck and the body feels great. But man does that fingerboard look awesome or what!

Thank you sir!

I purchased a mint 2012 Mapleglo 4003 a few weeks back and I think I know why the guy did not keep it. The nut is really high. It is impossible to get a decent set up with the nut cut the way it is. The bass sounds like an ABG instead of a Ric because the strings are so far off the FB. The neck look...

I had the worst case of it there is.... I had 4 4003's from April 2012 through June 2013 and I foolishly let all of them slip through my hands. They had become the staple of my sound in the two bands that I play in regularly. I truly felt lost at sea shifting from bass to bass trying to find my groo...
