They are starting to show up on the 'Bay... there's a gorgeous JG on there now, but for several hundred dollars more than POTR's price.
Just saw another new JG for $1,799 BIN

There is at least one place that has them for $1350. $1799 isn't even a good price on a standard 4003, which usually can be had for around $1600.

Ooops... I stand corrected. It's been a long time since I've been in the market for a new bass. I'm more of a used/vintage/natural relic
kinda bass buying guy. I remembered finding a gorgeous new MG 4003 for a friend for $1,500 which was at the time a great deal - I got the tip here on this forum. I think that was 4-5 years ago.

There are at least two stores here in Seattle that typically price a new 4003 around $1600

4003s or 4003S? It might make a difference, you know?

Here she is ... wonderful low fast action, almost as light as my 73, sounds wonderful even with stock strings.
This is her at Bass Northwest
This is her at home with her sisters ... my 73, my 92, my Dark Fireglo Fretless and my Amber Fireglo
Close up of her and the Dark Fireglo Fretless
Close up of the gorgeous Fireglo ...
Am a Happy Fireglo Camper ....
Thank you John Hall and all at Rickenbacker for such a wonderful instrument

Like that "dark Fireglo." Is that like the dark fire that comes out of a Jet?
