Hello everyone,

I'm so happy with my new Rick!!!!

About 6 or 7 years ago I once was in a guitarshop in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and saw a few Ricks. I always was interested in these basses so I tried out these ones! Since then I always wanted to buy a Rick (but did not have the money).

At the end of last year I could afford me one so I wanted to buy one for real. A bit adoubt for new or 2ndhand, but at least a new one... But where to find? I thought nowhere to find!

So I've looked wordwide on the internet, ebay, etc. and I could buy a new 4003 at the UK, so I did.

I was a bit nervous, aspecialy for shipping but in the early days of this year, my love arrived :)

After a little problems with balance and neckdive, I am so HAPPY!

so here are some pics.... by now I have the pickup cover off!

This I like the most: mahony headstockwings:
