That is a rare bass - I would guess September or October 87 myself.superheavydeathmetal wrote:Not me! This awesome specimen arrived today!

Congrats!spongebob wrote:Just a quick update.
I did go for another - a Ruby.
This one is the polar opposite of the last one. There is no buzzing at all, the E string is alive and bristling with tone, and even better, I think it's pretty light, in at around 8.8lbs (same as my USA Precision). Compared to some 4003's I've played, I'm very happy with that.
I love the contours and dots, and the whole bass is exceptionally well finished.
My confidence was dented after the last one - but I'm glad I persevered.
The odd thing was, the first bass came in a non-Ric shipping box, and when I opened the case, the strings were pretty floppy, no tension at all. The new one has the from the US to importer to the retailer box, and the bass was pretty playable from the off.
....and the colour is simply gorgeous, really emphasises the cuuuurves!
Now that's cool. Congrats on finding that one.superheavydeathmetal wrote:Not me! This awesome specimen arrived today! After indulgently playing around for about an hour, I got down to work and replaced the stock input jack with a stereo jack. What a tremendous improvement! It's an '87.
