Nice coloring, but where's the walnut?
Did they use sap wood?

I agree, there should be walnut wings...

JH said that not all of the new basses have walnut wings ... most of the new basses have them but not all

So, if a guy was to order a new 4003, it could come with or without the slimmer neck profile and walnut wings?

I guess they had some old stock lying around and sent them out. You'd have thought they'd have finished them in Jetglo or Mid Blue.

John Biscuiti has one like that.

Had. For all I know, this could be the one.

That was very disappointing.

Why would Ric ever make an instrument without walnut headwings?

Why would RIC ever make an instrument without a skunk stripe?!

I think the latest basses made have the Walnut Wings and the vintage tone selector.

I like the walnut headwings and the skunk stripe ... but I am not a horseshoe fan ...

My 2007 4003FL AFG didn't have wings either.

Both John & I got our bases the same week.

I hope they keep the walnut wings.

To me, that little feature nails the "classic" vibe of the Rickenbacker bass. Check binding would be nice but.....
