Still pondering it. Even talked with Chris a while back about it. I hope... I do hope there is a chance at a Ruby 4004Cii in the next few months. I need to reduce the gear before I acquire another one.

Mute?

Eh, I never really messed with it until last night for the very first time. And this is my third 4003.

Thanks for the info on the MIDs blacked out. I have all the gear, but black binding, I don't.

I just removed black hipshots and returned a 4003 back to its original chrome tuners. The bushing / guide was a snug fit for both. I don't believe you'll need to drill or even shave any wood away.

Very cool basses!

Great stuff! Dig the video too!
