I like the 2-piece neck a lot. It's a little thinner than the old necks and quite strong, with no flexing at the body joint on 4-2-5 conversions. Here's my new '09 Cii with a few mods. I swapped the gold out with Paul Boyer for his chrome and then swapped his truss rod cover with another forum member for a white molded one. The body has been routed for the 4003 style bridge pickup set-up, but still uses the original HB1's. It's wired VVT with RIC vintage knobs, and also has a set of D'Addario flat wounds on it. This will eventually transition into a 4-2-5er, but I'm enjoying it the way it is for a little while longer.

I'm late to the game here but what the heck is that white double-neck monster?

For all you guys who always wanted to give a 4004Cii or 4004L a try but didn't want wider the neck, the ones at NAMM are like the latest 4003 necks.

That sounds great Joey, I always wanted a 4004 but shied away from the wider necks. Any news on the new bass coming out?? Any photo's of the Ric both??

Thanks

If I can figure out how to get the pics off the phone I just got I'd post them.

Now we're talking! As much as I loved the 4004Cii I had the neck was just not comfortable for me. This is great news.

Ooh yeah! But, ya know what they say about pics...


So, did they narrow up the nut width too? So, new ones won't be as adaptable to 5 string as the older ones?

Seems to me that the neck was like the 4003 neck from top to bottom. I'm adaptable to different necks sizes, so it doesn't matter to me if the neck is the same as the 4003...as long as it isn't like a J-bass neck. If the new ones are not so adaptable to make into a 5 string, I almost find that to be a good thing.

I like the wide neck on the Cii and the Larado...

Agreed!

FWIW former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, dropped by the booth and played a 4004Cii MG... He liked it and said it weighed less than his 4003.
