My personal fav color combo. Pretty much holding out here for MapleGlo w/ black pickguard and truss cover (which is the tough bit sadly)

A little late to the party here but I will chime in with congratulations on a splendid-looking (and no doubt sounding) instrument!

I thought it might be a bit off but no, the gold pickguards indeed look great? Where can we find them?

This place is better'n facebook

Wow, some seriously sweet rigs here!

I am done with heavy gear myself as well. These days the Ric is going through an Ashdown Little ******* tube amp to a pair of Bergantino AE112. Sounds great and does the job.

any difference besides the fretboard inlays? Looks like the S has dots...

Glad to hear you stuck with it and worked out what were ultimately trivial issues.

Some great pictures here, very interesting. Especially like the blue one.

Would love to see some pics of your (80s) Rics - so feel free to share.

Am looking at a 4003S model on ebay - I hadn't heard of that before, what is the skinny on the 4003S?

Definitely keep us updated as you progress, very interested.

unfortunately I waited a little too long on that first bass in the thread and it sold... ah the sting!

really, that mapleglo with the black covers looked sweet!

Wow. 500? that is nuts. There is one right now that is up to $150.

What are the new models that come with it now?

What's with the black truss rod covers? Why so hard to find?

I wanted to make a move on that bass in the pic but apparently it has sold
