New 4003S!
Very happy to have taken delivery of a 4003S FG. Dave's Guitar in La Crosse is an awesome place to get your Ricks.

Re: New 4003S!
Congrats Jay, I've got on of these in FG as well,
Just love the way they are shaping the upper horn and the headstocks lately. And that Carribbean Rosewood(or Rastafarian Bubinga,whatever they call it!) is really nice as well!

That 4003S looks wonderful, Jay. 
Love the CR fingerboard figuring on it, in particular.

Vary sharp!
Re: New 4003S!
The whole bass is beautiful, the fingerboard especially so. I've seen some really stunning fingerboards on recent 4003s, but I think this is the best one yet.squirebass wrote:Just love the way they are shaping the upper horn and the headstocks lately.

Turn on, tune up, rock out!
Re: New 4003S!
Fabulous! That fingerboard is sick! Enjoy the hell out of that beast!

Re: New 4003S!
Not only is that Chechen fingerboard exquisite, that's one of the nicest Fireglo finihes I've seen on a recent Rick - a few tend to have a too hard defined line between the red and the amber, whereas this beauty has a more gradual transition between the colours and is very smart.

Re: New 4003S!
I'd agree about the FG, they are spraying the best FG I've seen in awhile!
Re: New 4003S!
Exactly my thought.

I hope mine would come from the same batch (wishful thinking).

Re: New 4003S!
Nice! I bought one much like yours from Wildwood a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. Only Ric bass I've owned that hasn't needed any set up work at all out-of-the-box (though Wildwood probably poked at it a bit before it came to me). I am planning to post a review when I have more time.
