Any news about possible new Bass models for the new year ?

I am just curious.

Any signature model ?

Now that production is running really smoothly, I would think that JH would like to introduce something new – What do you say Mr. Hall?

I know, I’ll start a new count down – the number of days since I last purchased a new Rick! – 50 days! Seems too long already!

Cheers!

It makes a 4004cii doubleneck...
Just an idea.

An 8 string neck on top of a 4 string neck? A 4048 Cii?
That would be awesome!

Can't teach an old dog new tricks...

4003S/5 Shadow!

I'd like the 4003S/5 with a little more string spacing keep the checkered binding but to really make it unique, have 21 frets and black triangle fingerboard inlays.

The new Musician's Friend catalog shows a 4003 in Turquoise! How about that for the 2004 color?

MORE 5 STRING BASSES ... I MUST HAVE MORE 5 STRING BASSES ...

skinny necked, fat necked, 4003s models, 4004 models, 4000 models, tight spacing, wide spacing, .... just give me that low b string ...

How about a 4004 5 string with triangular inlays, or single coil pickups, or active electronics, or chrome trim instead of gold trim, or black trim, or walnut headwings,

How about a 4003s8 with octave string first (for pickers!!!)

How about an 8 string model of any kind ...

Yes it would be nice if the buyer have the options of octave strings above or below should Mr. Hall decide to make 8 string bass models.

anybody know the status of the RIC factory converting 8 stringers to octave first?

Think Surfrat had it done-but then he got that snazzy custom job.

Must be karma
