I am dissappointed the 360 thread was pulled in toto. Judicious editing out of a few of the last posts and closing the thread would have served better. Of course, just my opinion.

Does anyone have any news on the 4003s? Have any shipped yet?

I must have missed all of whatever controversy ensued.

The only thing I posted was that they all won't be completed due to some later deliveries by various suppliers, and more recently now, some important components received that do not meet our standards which have to go back to the vendor.

Obviously we have to move to other production when this happens and requires some careful rescheduling.

But a good number of these have already been shipped and almost all are on the line now waiting to be assembled when the proper parts arrive.

Thanks for the update John, I'll be happy whenever my 4003 arrives, waiting is not a problem.

I've got no problems waiting, either. I'm just glad to be getting one. I'm going to have quite a quandary deciding which basses to take to gigs.....

I don't mind when it comes, very happy to be getting one.

I don't mind as such, just can't wait to get my hands on it.

Thanks for the update, John, much appreciated.

I'm also just happy to be getting one when it arrives.

Mike, you want RIC to make only 51? If they did some of us wouldn't be getting ours! LOL

didn't he mean to say 76 ... and not 51?

I think so Jeff, but I just had to tease him.

Perhaps he was referencing the US distrubution - 50.

...which is 60 instruments!
