Those are all sweet basses!!! Here is my sort of "S".. My 4000MG vintage 1975. Unfortunately it's not going to gig alot now because it now has a dead spot on the 5th fret of the A string, and needs a fret dressing. I'm blessed with the basses I have, and the Ricks are the best! I love'em all!!

DA23 got the ball rolling alright!
DA24 (sadly missed)
The CS is still an "s"!
Bring back the S!
How can we make music if we havent got any DOTS?

Not so illustrious, but an 'S' nonetheless.
1976 was a good year for FG:

Kevin that is a nice looking FG 4000!! With TV knobs and all..I like it!

I think a late 60's 4000 is probably the ultimate 4000 bass, (walnut wings and all!). Anyone got one to show? I know they are rare...
