4003 vs. 4003S

[Alberto]

What are the main differences between the 4003 and the 4003S? The 4003 has the triangle fret inlays, vs. the 4003S dot inlays. And I see the 4003S has the old style pickup. Are the pickguards the same on both makes? Anything else?

4003= Ric O Sound. 4003S Mono.

No binding, dots instead of inlays. That's about it. 4003s had high gains like the regular 4003. You may have seen a V63 with the horseshoe and toaster.

'Ceptin' that would have (should have) been designated a 4001....

I made a mistake in my list of Paul's Model of the Week basses and have been unable to find the time to correct that.
