I'm getting my bass

Well guys, I thought about getting an old one for a long time but when I saw that brand new 4003 at POTR, I just couldn't help it. 5 minutes ago, I placed my money on it. It's a brand new one and I will be the one who puts the milleage on it and the heck with the rest. It's the bass of my dream and it's Jetglo... wooooo! Soon I will be playing with it and I'm just going nuts!!
Even my wife is telling me to calm down...what can I say...I've waited 25 years to get one like that!!! Cheers!

Wow!!! Congratulations!
25 years?! That's a long time!
I only waited 11 years to be able to afford a 4003, and I ordered it last week, so it'll be 11years and 3 months before I can lay my fingers on it... I guess my fiancée would understand your wife

but still... 25 years... wow!

The new 4003's are great playing and sounding basses too, if I could only have one it would be a new one.

Well, let that Seagreen go to me Bob and I,m sure someone will take the 72 FL off yours hands too..
We'll soon start getting you down to just one new one....

Congrats on teh new purchase! BEware, they can get addictive. Trust me, I bought a 4003 back in October and the basses seem to multiply like rabbits around my house. And worse, yet, their cousins, the 6 and 12-string guitars, are starting to show up.

Well played, Dannyboy.

4003s are great Ric workhorses, look sleek in Jet!
