New 4004 Day!

Post by spongebob »

After a (brief) ownership of one some years back, I've finally managed to snatch myself another 4004Cii - a 2012.

What can I say? What an instrument. Looks fabulous, plays like a dream - and the new thinner necks make such a difference.

I always wanted one in Jetglo, and it certainly lives up to expectations. Compared to my 4003? Definitely an evolution, and still unmistakably Ric.

Proof is in the pictures.... :D

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I am finding that I play most often on the neck PU soloed. Such a deep but growly tone, character to burn. Mine has the VVT mod. Let us know how you feel about the stock wiring please!

Good move, just got a pristine 2008 4004Ci myself, natural wood, plays fantastic. All three of my Ricks, (4003 and 3000), are set up perfect, great action and have never had any problems. Have fun.
