Can I get a witness??? :wink:


I've just always loved a white bass with the gold trim.
A white 4004 with gold hardware would look awesome

I think so. Bassduke has a white one in his stable of 19 Ricks!!! I'm not sure what model it is, and I've messaged him to see if he can post a solo picture.

It's a refinished 4001v63 Jack. The original owner had to sell it after he got it refinished, and Paul bought it. There's a decent picture of it somewhere...

Ugly, AND they put the output jack on the wrong side of the body! :lol:

I'm no fan of gold, but a white 4004cii WOULD look cool.
