I didn't know Pony Express did pickup that far east. Isn't POTR in Jersey?
But I'm glad to see that the orders are being filled, even if it is a little slower than I'd like....

Here's a picture of my new Ruby!
I've removed the pickup cover today, restrung with my normal D'addarios, and in the process of giving her a bit of a tweak to my personal tastes.
She sounds amazing, and just looks the business. I've had plenty of 4001/03, but never an S. The contoured body is such a nice alternative.
I had to sell my last 4003 primarily because of the weight. This one is the polar opposite - as I mentioned in a previous post, it's the same as my USA Standard P-bass, 8.8lbs.
Very content with this one!

Nice! You'll have to change your "Rickless - for now" signature!

The Ides of June, and still nary a Walnut in sight... 

Watch those teeth, Marlin. I'm not sure we've properly sedated the beast . . .

I wouldn't pay that much for one. That's the going price for the usual 4003 with the deluxe features. It's not new if it doesn't have a warranty.

Looks like my bass has been stuck in Winnamucca for 2 days.

Sounds like there is a sad, sad country/western song in there somewhere!
