How much would you be willing to pay for a limited run of say for example:
- a 4002?
- a 4005?
- a 3001?

You guys need to think strategically and competitively. Example:

I'd pass on everything but the 4002, and be willing to pay whatever price retailers Shinsedo distributes to would sell a RI 4002 for.

I suppose that's putting it a bit more realistically. The $4400 number I came up with for a 4002 was just taking the 1978 list price of $1275 and adjusting it for inflation. Of course, if RIC started offering the 4002 again, I'd pay whatever it it took to buy them...

Good to hear because they will only be available in Jetglo.

Hey, if RIC made me a 4002, with the black and checker binding, bound headstock, and ebony fretboard, I'd but it even if it was Jetglo...

Thunk! (falls to floor backwards)

. . . . which is exactly why there likely will never been one.

LOL... Not only do I love this comeback, I totally agree with it.
Isn't the semi hollow body Warwick German bass pushing well above the 5k and above mark?

You can get a 4002 RI now with a 4003 and some - erm - professional modifications.

Exactly, and with bonuses - stronger neck and compression truss rods.

I'm saving my nickels and dimes now.

Well, you can get a 4003 modified to have the pickups in the same position, sure. It's a bit tougher to pull off if you want a nice Mapleglo or some other non-opaque finish. But I'm thinking the 4002 pickups might be a tad difficult to source. How much different they are from an HB-1 I can't say, but they are different, or so I've been told...

Buy a new Wal instead...

Is Wal making Rick Reissues?

Didn't think so...

+1!

..But, with the model's mentioned, neither is RIC!

And...it's not going to happen either!

Just being practical...

A 4002 would be great, but for me a 4005 would be incredible. That would be worth getting in debt for, I couldn't resist it.
