I was thinking that a 4004CII5 would look nice in that color ...

Jeff, I was thinking the same thing after seeing Scotts red 4004 when I ordered my 4004Cii5. 4 months into the wait as of yesterday...

What color did you order?

I will probably order one this year ... I am so impatient ... how will I wait that long?

The CII5 would look great in red or green or blue ... but I already have 2 blue basses ...

I ordered the 4004Cii5 in translucent red like Scotts 4004 bass. I think his looks great and in my own humble opinion goes best with the gold trim. I would have ordered it in translucent black if RIC offered that finish. If the hardware was chrome, I would have ordered a jetglo.

Transparent black would be very cool. Especially with the black trim.

Im meant gold trim, sorry, got black on the brain.

as long as the grey matter doesn't turn white...

That's okay Scott, I think transparent black would look good with black hardware too. Unfortunately, neither is an option.

Scott,

i how do you like the new ric`s. are they up to par with the standards?

Chris, I'm a member of the 4004Cii club and all I can tell you is that it is one hell of a bass. As Scott would say, it's got a little darker of a tone but as I would say, it's still has that Rick punch. I also own a V63 a 4003 a 4003S/5 and the 4004 is one of my favs. I highly recommend one or two!

Andy,
I have a v63 just like yours, and it is my old faithful, but lately I've gotten the jones for a 4004. What can you tell me about it, comparing A/B, with the v63??? I've played a Ci before, loved it, but I've never seen a Cii in the flesh. And, yes that is a collection anyone would be proud of!

Andy, I love that Jetglo 4003S/5 you have !!
