Where are the 4003?

I put myself in a self inflicted position of being Ric'less. My '07 Jetglo 4003 has been on order for a loooong time.

Anybody got theirs yet?

I'm all about keeping mine until my replacement arrives.

But then I forget to sell the old one!

Good Luck!

Why, I wouldn't know what you're talking about....

I don't have the patience to order a new Ric ... I get used ones that are available now ...

Just look around and read the forums.

I had my Blueburst 4003 played it a few months and sold it before alot of people even ordered theirs. A few are still waiting.

Chris at Pick of the Ricks has an '86 4003BT JetGlo.

RIC must have just sent out a lot of 4003 basses as the page listing shipments is a lot fuller than I've seen in a while.

My dealer, Wade's Guitar Shop, has a AFG coming in. I ordered a JG. Oh well, I have a very nice backup, an '05 MIA Fender JB. I can sorta make it sound like my old 4003 (just kidding)

I chose to sell the Ric because the money I made on it paid for the JB and the replacement 4003. I just took advantage of the crazy market. I still look forward to the new one.

I have been waiting 2 yrs this month. Im glad to see ric is shipping some 4003s. Most have been Mid in color. I hope the Mgs start soon. LOL

John,

Thanks for the heads up! THAT is EXACTLY what I am looking for.

Glad to be a help. Hopefully it is still there - I noticed Charly's 4004MB is still listed.

That 4004 looks nice. I'd be tempted to get it but I've never laid hands on them although I hear they are awesome.

Uh, that one's taken I'm afraid. I saw it shipped last week, sent them some money and it's due tomorrow. Needless to say I'm psyched!

Way to pay attention! Who needs to wait for a new Rick?! We'll want pics, Jerry!
