Just picked up my bass Saturday, and wow... I'm so glad I got it. Couldn't be happier, mapleglo finish, got to gig with it saturday night and it definitely turns heads and more importantly ears!

Awesome...for quality, tone and appearance they don't come much better than a new 4003

This is looking to be my setup for a pretty good gig I'm playing this weekend. I had to take the bridge pickup cover off, it was starting to cause some battle damage on my right wrist haha..

Wow, It's been a little over a year since my brand new 4003, in Jetglo, arrived. 5 Rickenbacker basses later I'm still amazed at how "right" it feels and how great it sounds!

Thanks RIC for putting out such a fine instrument!

Joe, she is a beauty! Love the Maple Glo finish! Like you, my PU cover only lasted a few days. Filled the void with one of the bezel covers from tube ampology. I know you are loving that baby, You will love it more and more as time goes by. Here is a pic of my 2011 FG with the bezel cover installed.
