I don't care for the regular new walnut Ricks, but this one looks really sharp!

While it's nice... "once you go vintage"... well, you probably know the rest.

Oh man, bass lust! I noticed something new on the walnut basses: they are continuing the neck taper right through the body, which is different (isn't it?) from the old bodies where the neck was only tapered from the neck heel to the nut. I suppose with new CNC machinery, this is easily cut. I really like the gloss finish, makes the walnut grain pop.

I had often wondered what the 4004C would look like with a clear coat finish..... very cool!

Isn't that the same Gloss Walnut that's in the 4003w Video posting?

This one will be nice to have as a one-off, but personally I like the W series in matte oil finish.

I think RIC made the right call with the oil finish.

I like both oil and varnish finishes. The grain in the walnut really looks great with the gloss varnish.
