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...

I find it interesting the TRS says 4001 and the pickguard is a one piece but they list it as a 4003.... :roll:

Just the reverse of what many retailers understand of RIC basses. Still a lot of them out there who think the 4001 is the only RIC bass. This one is likely a 4001 since "production" of the 4001 lingered past 1980 as there was still inventory. Or it could be a 4003 with the wrong TRC and pickguard, but that's unlikely.

A band in my hometown when I grew up was called TRS. (Or was it TSR?) Never figured it out either way :lol:

I've always thought that a great band name would be "TBA." Man, they are playing everywhere and they book well in advance! :lol:
