Now that production is running really smoothly, I would think that JH would like to introduce something new – What do you say Mr. Hall?

I know, I’ll start a new count down – the number of days since I last purchased a new Rick! – 50 days! Seems too long already!

Cheers!

It makes a 4004cii doubleneck...
Just an idea.

An 8 string neck on top of a 4 string neck? A 4048 Cii?
That would be awesome!

I'd like the 4003S/5 with a little more string spacing keep the checkered binding but to really make it unique, have 21 frets and black triangle fingerboard inlays.

The new Musician's Friend catalog shows a 4003 in Turquoise! How about that for the 2004 color?

MORE 5 STRING BASSES ... I MUST HAVE MORE 5 STRING BASSES ...

skinny necked, fat necked, 4003s models, 4004 models, 4000 models, tight spacing, wide spacing, .... just give me that low b string ...

How about a 4004 5 string with triangular inlays, or single coil pickups, or active electronics, or chrome trim instead of gold trim, or black trim, or walnut headwings,

Yes it would be nice if the buyer have the options of octave strings above or below should Mr. Hall decide to make 8 string bass models.

anybody know the status of the RIC factory converting 8 stringers to octave first?

Think Surfrat had it done-but then he got that snazzy custom job.

Must be karma
