Right, except that would be the 4381JV.

Ivan....RIC actually made a short run of short scale 4003S'(probably 5). I've seen 2 of them on Ebay.

Thats actually a 1999RoMo You could tell because of the thumbrest. They made a reissue of this for japanese export along with the 310C64 and the 360C63/6.
Another export model is a white on white 4003.

Because mint blonde Hofner Senators are hard to come by.

Et voila.... the frankenbacker part 630 part 4003 part 371

A swing and a miss...

Unfortunately, my photo shop skills are as bad as my bass playing...

So on that note.... I think I'll go play bass for a while.

Dudes...

Well, maybe technically. But I like that headstock better...

There's a nice looking white-on-white at Elderly right now, asking $1,950. No affiliation, just since you mentioned it and I know some here are looking for this rare combination...
