I'm traveling to USA from Australia for the first time next year.
It's a work trip to San Marcos CA.
Owning a few 4003's, i'd really love to visit Ric headquarters.
Am I dreaming?
Cheers Pete

Yep, i string all my Basses BEAD.
I had a 4003s5, beautiful Bass but string spacing was a little tight.
Guages I use 60, 80, 100 and 125.
Tension seems perfect to me.
I had to install a hipshot bridge on my 08 to get the intonation right but my Snowglo was pretty much spot on.
Try it, you'll have to ...

Sorry to sound smug Guys but, welcome to my world.
I live in Western Australia and have no local dealers.
My Snowglo cost me $3.5k landed but hey, i have one.
Ive learnt to;
Go to my hardware store,
Buy some cement,
Build a bridge,
And get over it

I have dual HB1's in my 08. Stealth quiet.
Matching 500k pots and oil caps made a hell of a difference I've gotta admit.
Love it.

Oh no, no, must resist. Just got my points back for my SnowGlo purchase.
But I am partial to maple boards.
No, no, oh my.

Stunning and like everyone else, I'm poor.

Brilliant, thanks.

Yeah sorry, the site would only allow me to load 800 pix photos.
Standard pups but bridge pup has a surround with thumbrest, chicken head knobs, white selector cap, white DR BEAD strings.
Might have to install HB1's as the hi gains are very noisy. Drives FOH guys mad.

I finally received a few snaps of my monster low end beast.
See how many minor mods you can pick?

I remember a recent trip to Bali where knock offs of everything are rife! Shirts, perfume, shoes, etc.
One stall had a sign "100% original copy". Points for the truth I suppose.

Bob, I really appreciate the help getting the bass. (yours came in today by the way) You've made two people extremely happy!

I had written Mr. Music about the bass, and they sent me a message the following day. Happily I was able to tell them I had already secured one. Here's their email:
"We do ...

Just wait, RIC will announce that SnowGlo is the color of the year for 2014 and all those people who paid big bucks for the first few will be a bit miffed...
:twisted: :lol: :lol:
Well for one, I hope not! I've always wanted a white on white but being a castaway on a Ric deserted island, it's ...

Oh yeah, I'm one Happy Chappy. Had some friendly help locating it and could be the only SnowGlo in Oz

Jeff, by hook or by crook, I've actually scored myself a SnowGlo. She'll be on her way real soon.
