I'm really happy with with my 4002 and 4005 so in order to round out the collection I'd probably have to say (and sorry, don't quite know who owns it now) that I'd want the Seafoam V63!

Teed's v63, Arthur's BG 21 fret, the quilt 4004 that Jared keeps showing (do you own it?)

Hmmm .... I'd want to go through the ranks and collect one of each model in Fireglo.

I'd definitely like either of the 4005WBs owned by Jeff Scott or John Biscuti.
David - if you had been able to make it to the Toronto mini-confluence back in September, you could have seen the Sea Green V63 in person!

Wow Ted, what a compliment! I wouldn't have expected it from a guy that has a '63 4001, the Blackstar/Tux/Redneck trio, a sweet 4002 and so many other cool Ricks to choose from.
But which one would I pick? There are so many cool Ricks from this forum that I've seen and/or played its a tough choice. I'd have to exclude any 4005 as I haven't spent enough time with one to really know if I like them. I'd have to exclude the (very cool and beautiful) Lemmy because I'm not a big fan of my own Cheyenne and I hear that they sound similar. And I'd have to exclude anything with a real horseshoe(might as well leave those for all of you forumites that like them) as I don't have any desire to own a bass that doesn't allow me full string access.
A few sweet ones off the top of my head that fit my requiremtents are: Ted's 4002, Steve Wood's Seagreen V63, Grant Arthur's burgundy 21 fretter, and Ted's Blackstar. But right now, since nobody has dibs yet...I think I'll take Andy's '68 4001FG!

If I had to choose one, I think it would be Jeff Rath's JG 4003 4-2-5.
Odd, no one mentioned someone else's 4002 yet!

Jon Casselman's Eggplant 4001 would've been the quick answer... but I wouldn't kick anybody's MG V63 outta bed... especially Kevin's early one..

A certain white 1999

Ted's '63.

Paul Boyer's Fireglo 2060. The most beautiful bass I have ever seen. Kudos Paul!

Forgot about the 4002...
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:56 am
I'll go with Graham's '61 4000, or maybe his 3-pickup 4005.
Honorable mentions - Steve's v63 SG, Grant's BG 21- fretter, Ted's 4002, and Lindsay's 4004 BBR.

I wouldn't mind having a 4080 in just about any color. Just the 6-string for the guitar neck would be fine...

Richard, just say the word and I will ship one or two across to you!
