Jeremy,
Congrats on the bass. I have owned a Rick since the early '70's, and I will never give it up. I just joined the forum today as well. This is a great forum, with knowledgeable members quick to share information. Gary

Jeremy, kinda feels like waitin for Santa doesn’t it? Good luck with it and don’t forget to post some pictures when you get a moment. Get a good night’s sleep… 'while visions of Rics dance round in your head'.
And in keeping with the expanded portion of this thread –

I play my 4001 through a Little Big Muff for a couple songs and it sounds great, even with the sustain all the way down (hey, we're just a little indie band, I don't get to rock out like Motorhead in this one).
