By far the best Ric I have ever played let alone owned. Such a great Axe. My other 5 are Jealous....

[cjj]

Ooh! NICE!


One of these days, I'm gonna get within a hundred miles of one of those and maybe get to play it. Then I'm sure I'll have to buy one...

SWEET!

CONGRATS BRIAN!

GOTTA LOVE THE CS!

If you're ever in Edmonton...

[FretlessOnly]

Yeah, that's very nice (the b&w shot is particularly cool). My concern with owning one of these (or any bass with original or re-issue horseshoe) is the string clearance around the H/S. I like my action on the high side and play fingerstyle on the hard side. I do have the bridge PU covers on my '73 4001FL and '08 4003 with no problems, but it looks to me as if there might be somewhat less string clearance with a H/S.

Congrats! Great looking CS!

Dang! I used to live a mere 600 miles from Edmonton (Malta, MT). Now I'm about 700 miles away...


But, If I'm ever in the vicinity, I'll be sure to look you up!

I play fingerstyle as well. There are no issues with clearance. I also play fairly heavy rock and this bass is bad a$$

I really like the finish checking on this. Gives it a real cool aged look. I also like the fact that it's one of the earlier ones with the more accurate bridge pickup surround. I'm guessing it must have the longer headstock too. You should add one of the C64 replacement tailpieces to get it the rest of the way there.

Oh man, that's sweet...congrats!!!

Oh, that's a beautiful bass, beautifully photographed! I can haz more picturz?

Chris Squire is why I bought a 4001 in the first place, so I especially appreciate the 4001CS... wish I'd had the sense to buy one when they were new. I could have afforded it then, but alas not now....

[rickenbrother]

Sweet! Congrats and enjoy it, Brian!

[T.A.R.]

Wow, That is beautiful Love the headstock shot!

+1! Nice bass!

Probably a '91 or early '92.

My April '92 V63 is the last one I see in the register that has the nicer (to me) surround.
