Congrats !

Congratulations Jeff! She's a beauty. I remember the red S/5 being on your wish list. The red with the black trim option looks great. Enjoy!

Jeff,
Whats up with the decal in the cavity?

They look made for each other Jeff, glad everything worked out.

This is the first Ric I've ever seen a decal in the cavity .... what's the deal? I don't know ... Maybe somebody here can fill us in ...

Scott: ... thanks for selling it to me ... it's a keeper ... it is in almost new condition ... the cleanest used ric I've ever seen ... most of mine are several years older ...

Hi Grant, welcome, and that is one beautiful bass, how's it sound and play?

Posted: **Tue Dec 02, 2003 1:19 pm**

YES!!
Hey, Grant, ultra-nice catch! You keep that beauty, you hear? It is pretty rare.
I have a 21 fret 4001 myself, made in November 1970 (# number JK 340). It is fnished in Fireglo.
Welcome aboard, by the way.

Thanks everyone! I haven't plugged it in yet, but it plays great.

Just how many 4001 21 fret models are out there anyway??
