Is it my eyes, or is that an old bass refinished, or - Have I been away for so long that they've got back to the original pickup positions on the 4004?

Thankfully they have gone back to the original p/u placement.

Yes, it's the re-bodied 2030. I decided that I missed my pickguards, so I built some for it. I think it's done now....

Cant get enough of looking at that awesome looking beast Todd.
That should be RIC's 75th anniversery bass. But with production at 100% its a moot issue.

That is how the 2000 series should have looked. Bravo, Todd!

If Ric made one of those (and assuming it isn't a boat anchor

), I'd order one right now.

Look even better with 3 toasters...IMO.

I agree with Ted. That 2030 looks way cool!!

I like that the pickups are spaced out similar to a 4005, gives a lot of tonal options that way. Great looker!

Very nice bass. Toasters would be perfect!

Like the experimental 67 4001S in Smith's book...
