Nice snag, Kris - they look even better in hand than in pics.

Great looking Gumby Jeff ("Merry Christmas damn it" As Eddy Murphy used to say is SNL) Yours is an "S"!
Any more green ones out there?

I am another turquoise nut. Currently have a 330/12 and 360/12 in TUR, and a Casino in turquoise (which is more like baby blue).

Cool Jason. So you are to Turquoise as Steve Wood is to SeaGreen then?

Yeah I guess so. I kind of wish I hadn't sold that 650A with the HiTek vibrato.

I love turquoise 4003's. That 4003S is absolutely beautiful.

Yeah Jason. Never sell or one day you will regret it. I read in the John Entwistle collection book that he used to sell and then he wished he never did, so he kept every bass he got from then on and he ended up with 250 of them. I am on the way. I am on number 17 now.

17? Way to go Kris!

Thanks James. She's in like new condition. Here's another photo. She's a 94 so she has a different headstock than Kris's:

Yes, 17, but they are not all Rics (only 4). Basses are my addiction, I NEED REHAB!!!!!!!

Ariel, my first Rickenbacker bass, a '97 4003. Post #97, so it seems appropriate to show her off.

Unlike my other basses, I have NEVER considered letting this one go.

Sounds like you need more storage space! ;)
