I know it's nothing compared to a lot around here but for the first time (and hopefully forever) I am a 2 Rick Household. A Fretless and a Fretted 4003. Fire Glo and a Jet Glo.
The only 2 basses I have right now. Maybe someday I'll get another Jazz bass (yea, I like Fenders too) but for NOW I'm content. I dreamt about this as a kid.

Hi Greg,
CONGRATULATIONS!
BE CAREFUL, playing RIC guitars can become VERY ADDICTING....trust me on this one..... ESPECIALLY if you hang around on this board for a while!
The darn things should come with a warning label, like cigarettes, "exposure to Rickenbacker basses can and WILL become addictive and COULD be hazardous to your health.....ESPECIALLY if you're married"!

GAS is bad, no doubt. I fight the urge all the time, and it's hard. A fretless Rick? Newer ones have less side markers I think - then that could become a
need...
A fretted J bass? A P bass? A 4000 would be nice to complement the 4001 and 4004L...
Not to mention the
need for better amplification. And more band PA gear...we
need a voltage conditioner...
It never ends.

There's no use. Just give in. You'll be broke but happy!

Looks like I spoke too soon. Guy wants to reverse the trade so I'll get my Fender back but my dual Rick dream has come to an end.
For now . . .
Anyone need a GOOD 75 Reissue Jazz bass?

Aw. That sucks. At least Jazz basses are good instruments, so it's not like you're stuck with something that you don't like.

Looks like I'll get to keep them both after all. I'll try to post a pic of the siblings this afternoon. Whoo Hoo!
