Wow, hard to pick a winner there!

I'd dearly love a CS, but that blue Cheyenne is absolutely stunning.

Tell me, how do these 4004's sound, are they still classic Ric bass?

Well strangely enough I have no interest in Paul Mcartney at all, so it's perhaps a bit weird to buy such a bass

I don't now, I'm no wiser after sleeping on it... Do you guys think I can get the same tone from a 4003 that I would get out of a C64?

Well I want as thin a neck as possible - on the Musicman Bongo I have now, the neck is too fat, I've only little fingers...

And I also don't like the upside-down headstock, but otherwise I think it's beautiful. The matt finish, the dot markers, I assume the fretboard is oiled and not varnished ...

Me again :)

Hmmmm, I didn't get the chance to visit any stores, but I do have a brand-new 4001C64S on offer to me for €2200 (and I will haggle a bit lower yet). This is a pretty good price and I guess I'm not likely to lose money on that should I decide to sell in the future...

Try Mapleglo.

Maple Glow was very limited edition made out of maples from Chernobyl.

Even the owners of these are now rare!

Hey, that was ...

Hi Folks

I'm about to press the trigger and buy a new 4003MG - I just love this finish :-)

Thanks coolingitdown - you've put sufficient doubt into my mind now that I'll go and seek the models in a shop to compare.

Hi folks, my first post

Back in the mid 80's I had a black '77 4001. Can you believe that I swapped it in '89 for a Hohner Steinberger copy? Basically I needed a guitar I could carry on my back on my motorcycle - which I did, but it essentially meant I sold it for around £180. Of course, Ric's were ...
