Just a couple of pics of my 1996 4003S. Originally Mapleglo, I bought this at Bass NW in Feb. 2007 for a steal, and with the intentions of a refin. I've always wanted a Rick bass in a clear blue finish that was similar in hue to G&L's Clear Blue finish. It didn't hurt that this bass had some nice grain and a little flame as well. So I sent the bass to Paul W., and here is a sample of his amazing craftsmanship. He's going to do some small touch ups this weekend, and then he's gonna send it back to me early next week. Once I get it home and in my grubby little hands, I'll take some more pics. Paul, thank you so very much, you're the best!!! :D :D :D
Gorgeous!
