You're

You should ask Joey about Jetglo sometime...

My first bass was an '80 4001 in JG. Loved it!

Show-off!
That is one stunning instrument - love that checkerboard binding.
I noticed that all the saddles are positioned in the same direction. What type of strings and what gauge made it necessary to do that; with respect to getting it to intonate properly?

It's not bad when you have full width inlays on your Jetglo 4001 with checkered binding either

Like that Matte Black Finish!
Dean, that's James Dean.
Hey, I got a question for you. How do you maintain that matte finish? My 4001C64S, Matte Black, is beginning to get some semi-glossy spots. What's the secret to keeping it matte?

Nice set of jetglo's Robert! My first Ric purchased in the early 80's was a jetglo 4001S (1982) which I still have. I'll never sell it.
Here's a smallish picture with one of her younger sisters. I need to take some better images some day.
