You guys are a bad influence.... just scored my second 4003

I rejoined the Ric club two weeks ago with a 2011 Jetglo 4003. After hanging here and seeing all the folks with multiple Ric...and the fact that Mapleglo is my favorite Ric color....today I scored my Second 4003 in as many weeks. I am getting a newer 4003 Mapleglo from a great seller that I have purchased several basses from over the years. All this coincides with me taking my 4003 to my gig this past Friday night and me totally falling in love with the way the Ric sat in the mix and fit the sound of my band.

Yes...we ARE bad influence, and that's just the excuse most give their wives/girfriends/significant others when buying yet another RIC :wink:

Ricks are like tattoos. You don't find too many people with just one.

I was thrilled with my 4003. A year later, my 4001C64 arrived. They're bloody addicting. I now find myself RASing for a 4003FL or two, a 4004, a 4001, and eventually a 360/12. It's a sickness we all have.

Well, I'm not much of a bass player. But I am proud to be part of a company of bad influence. 8) Congrats on the new 4003.

They're like Tribbles. They multiply around the house.

Gary, that Green bass in the back row is pretty cool. 8) Don't think I've seen that one before. Is it a refinish ?
