I absolutely love it. It would be nice to see something similar emerge as a regular offering.

Hopefully the next recipient of one of these basses will be a better player. At this point I'm surprised that RIC used three sets of NOS 4002 body wings to build three basses that were essentially the same for someone that scarcely deserves one such bass.

Agree. It would be nice to see/hear vid that actually demonstrates the tone of the bass...

I'm with Rhys on this; who gets to determine worthiness, here? :?

A plexi Ampeg? Yeah, they were very cool basses, but the ones I have played were like bowling balls in weight.

Oh ya, they were heavy! My brother had a couple of the guitars too.
