I thought about it because I have not had a standard JG Rick bass for a few years. Nice grab Sean. It looks very nice!

I got all jelly fingered trying to bid on it.

Do you know what year this one is? Looks really shiny!

1980, according to the TC number provided. It appears to be in excellent shape.

What seems odd, and maybe it's because of my lack of knowledge, but didn't the early 4003 nameplates say 4003 on them?

Looks great....congrats? It deserves a proper string job though.....I just hate seeing that sloppiness on a Ric

Congrats and enjoy the 4003 Sean. I had two 4003's from 1981, they both had 4003 on the TRC's.

It is amazing how often you see stringing like that. Is it really that hard to get it right?

Awesome bass! Jetglo is classic.

Can anyone answer my above question about the nameplate?

My 83 sure does.

Nice score, Sean.

What strap bolts are they?
