Just checked them out - stunning! Here is a picture of my 4003FL Blue Burst - ordered it two years ago & finally received it last month! More can be seen "unshrunk" here:-

Hey Scotty, that is one beautiful Blue Burst (not that I've seen a Blue Burst that wasn't beautiful!)

I play my Rics through a Mark Bass CMD 102P - fantastico! I'm convinced they designed this stuff specifically with Rickenbacker basses in mind. Great power, punch & clarity, yet so light (only 44lb)!

Christmas is a coming, & I'm dropping HEAVY hints to the wife, but what to go for? I'm looking at ...

Joey is da man!

Well Jim, I have three 4003 basses, & have never had ANY problems with the bridges on any of them, & they get played (a lot!).

Bob

It probably isn't tail lift (brand new bass!) - my brand new 4003FL BBR looked to have tail lift, but having taken accurate measurements it is definitely body slope - nothing to worry about!

Mike, why do you want female jacks (sockets) at all, you want a stereo jack (male) at the bass end & two mono jacks (male) at the amp end (just like the one in the picture Todd posted).

Hi Mike

You need a Y splitter cable - stereo jack on one end (goes in the ROS socket of your 4003) and mono jacks on the two 'split' ends. One into each of two amps, channels on desk etc.

Here is one:-

The wife got me the DVD for my birthday - fantastico!

The wings look stunning on the BBR!

I honestly don't think they need the money!

Then you most definitely DO qualify Cris - but hey, if you own one, learn to play it anyway!

Saw them at Knebworth in '79 - I'd sell a kidney to get a ticket for this show!

Beautiful!
