If even the TS is allowed to drift a little than I can also. 2030's are pretty also. ;-)

Wow! A Turquoise 2020! Where'd you find that, John? It's a little chewed, but still pretty. Any more pictures? I'm really short on pix of the 2020.

This is a little older, I know, but I like to show my beauty, 2020 from 1993, almost perfect condition, great player:

Thank you! Yes, I think its the perfect colour for a 2020, and the sound is really good too, not like a 4003 but typically Ric in its own way.
I had my doubts, but now I am happy that bought it a few weeks ago. Little work with the trusses, because the pre-owner had it lying
around without any tension on them, but now all is great!

Welcome, Oliver! :) I love this series of basses.

If Bert can show his 2030, may I do so as well? :wink: :)

As I never had the chance to play one myself: how does a 4004 sound compared to the 2020? The difference is the neck-through, the electronics and hardware are the same (if made in the same year, otherwise the
fingerboard would not be maple, another sound I would like to know) Oh well, someday..
I like to compare Rics you see..over the years and what changed etc.
