I'm like teeder. I'm near Toronto where there's a million instruments and national dealers. In the past 30 years, I've seen 2 Ric basses in those stores. The smaller shops that sell vintage gear have had all the 4xxx models and a 3001. I've yet to see a 4005 Light Show or GF2030 bass.

It's exactly like my '05 Monte except for the checkerboard binding and push/pull pot. It's a great colour. Love my 4003.

Avoid all eBay ads for guitars that come from Japan. If you look at prices over the past year, they've gone to a level beyond ridiculous. There are a few dealers there and yes the same photos appears among their ads. I believe that they're looking for suckers to make a buy who are not conversant ...

My friend, a rhythm guitarist, has acquired one. I hadn't heard about them, so asked him to explain what the features are. I find it's interesting, but I've achieved my goal - simplicity and light weight. I can't be bothered investing time on the learning curve, nor will I spent the money required ...
