4003/S5 string spacing

I find the string spacing easy to adjust to BUT, it does make it hard to switch back and forth. I would probably just use the RIC 5-string all of the time except I have fretted and fretless 4-string Rick basses that I love using for different things too. Also, while it's easier to play the 5-string Rick with a pick, it can be played with the fingers though a bit difficult for more complex music.

Many thanks for all your contributions. Whilst I was hoping there'd be a unanimous "buy it!" it's good to hear both sides of the story. At $1995 plus the shipping and the 30% import tax, I'm going to let it go on this occasion and stick with my Tuxedo. This would have been a harder decision if it weren't for the fact that I've never been a great fan of Jetglo with WT anyway!

That being said, if Brian doesn't want your Midnight Blue, Jared, how much would you want for it?!
