Looks pretty much like a cross between my black on black 4003/S5 and my Shadow, minus frets.

Looks a lot like my 4003.

Looks like a 4003 that I almost bought from PM Blues about a year ago, I think that the BT option on black looks great!

imagine this beauty with a DR 'black beauties' string set.

Got my set yesterday-they sound awesome! Pprobably would sound even better if I could play half as well as those strings look...

I was going to bid on it, but the guy wouldn't ship to Lima, it's going to go high I think anyway.

I won!!!. I'm a four Rick family now. I'd like two more: a SeaFoam Green 4003s5 (five string), and a quilted 4004Cii natural with the contrasting walnut wings on the headstock. I had bid on that one last month, but it ended up going for $1,600 something. Youch!

Oh yeah,
The TI Jazz Flats sound great on a fretless.

Congratulations Paul, i'm jealous! Ric was going to make me one like that a few years ago, but I backed out when I found GC wanted all the cash up front. That is a nice looking bass.
