Aren't we ready for another model?

Hey Jeff, I'm a five stringer player now. I now own a 2002 Namm Lefty Warrior 5 stringer. Man what a bass. Swamp Ash body,Mahogany neck with a purple heart tone bar and one fat boy Bart p/u. This bass is one of a kind since it was made for the 100 aniversary of the NAMM shows. It has a gold medallion stating this placed in the body, just above the controls. It also has Namm carved into the back of the headstock. It is a dream to play and sounds great, YOU MUST GET ONE FOR YOUR COLLECTION. Now to add a lefty ric and the world will be as one. peace Mitch.

Have we run out of models or out of interest?

Has there been a "Show us your mods" thread?

Nope. Show us your modded Ricks!

Here's a mod - her name's Rikki.......

My 2004 4003 with half the mods I eventually want.
Still needs an old-style full pickguard, a vintage bridge pup surround, and eventually eventually walnut headstock wings, FWMOP inlays, and CB.

Here are mine:

I was experimenting with this one,,, but now its back to original with all black hardware.

Scott, I have to say I prefer your mods to the all-black scheme.

God, I hope not!

'05 JetGlo Laredo with blackened fretboard and black hardware.
For the moment it is still mine......

OK, I'm in......here's the reason I'm not buying Brian's Laredo, this five string was a direct result of the Darth Vader bass but I decided to keep the fretboard natural. I've done the VVT mod since these pics were taken using black vintage knobs.
