Yes.. the neck on my 330/6 is certainly 'chunkier' that any of my others but I've been playing it quite a lot lately (I've said it before - it's the best sounding Rick I have) and I'm quite comfortable with it.

Ben,

Are the 600 series necks CNC'd?

I thought I'd cured my desire for a 660, but now if I find out every neck profile is different ... just when I thought my Ric GAS has gone into remission!

All 600 model necks are 100% handmade, but not for long we hope...

Am I hallucinating, or does that bass neck have walnut
ears and deluxe inlay?

Could this be the 4003 of the future?

The body part tapers, so I think it'd be a C series

Paul, LOL! Hilarious!
Does this include BBR's as well? Should we expect to see them on that model from now on? Interesting! Image
