Visually, no. Structurally, there's at least one with a bum neck... :(

This is my 4003fl. Double Toaster, currently has brass Hipshot (normally sports Dane's mod) and Hipshot ultralight tuners for better sustain. It's my baby.

Here is my newly refinished "4001XS" with my weekend guest of honor showing her approval. I waited two years while my Luthier recovered from severe kidney stones, but it was worth the wait! This is a 1982 4001S.

John, are you referring to your 4003 'v63' ? Thats a real shame - I think yours is one of the best looking basses in the group.

My Ric ( 2001 4003) is the only bass that feels perfect to me. I have 2 other basses but nothing feels and plays like the Ric. I have often thought that I should have another.

That one just made me drool.............

I wish I could find a place that has one to try.

Jim, you finally got the bass back. Looks really good! Even your little Godchild recognizes it. :lol: Sure hope the visit is going/went great for all. :wink:

Zdenek, that is cool! How did you add the CS frets? All new fretboard?
