There's a nice looking white-on-white at Elderly right now, asking $1,950. No affiliation, just since you mentioned it and I know some here are looking for this rare combination...

I find it interesting the TRS says 4001 and the pickguard is a one piece but they list it as a 4003....

Just the reverse of what many retailers understand of RIC basses. Still a lot of them out there who think the 4001 is the only RIC bass. This one is likely a 4001 since "production" of the 4001 lingered past 1980 as there was still inventory. Or it could be a 4003 with the wrong TRC and pickguard, but that's unlikely.

I guess you learn something new everyday

I want to learn what a "TRS" is...

It's a common name for a stereo type connector - Tip, Ring, Sleeve...

So they make these marked "4001"?

What, you never looked closely at the Ric-O-Sound jack on a 4001?

Okay, dyslexia showing....

Actually typed too fast.

A band in my hometown when I grew up was called TRS. (Or was it TSR?) Never figured it out either way

How about TVR?

I've always thought that a great band name would be "TBA." Man, they are playing everywhere and they book well in advance!

I like this little hatchback.

I would so drive this!

I probably wouldn't fit in it...
