Well it’s been a 107 days since my last Rick purchase (4004Cii MG) and today I pulled the trigger on a new, yes new, 4003S/5 Black on Black. Oh Yeah!

Haha, I saw that black on black 4003S/5 listed on Mike Parks yesterday and I thought to myself "man that's gonna go fast." Sure enough.

Can wait to get my hands on this one! The 48 hr acclimation period is going to be rough. Had no intention of buying a new bass. I’m always looking to see what’s out there and I find this and the wife is cool about it – how about that! Couldn’t let it go when I saw it yesterday! I was just surprised no one else from here (Jeff) jumped on it. Has to be one of the last 4003S/5’s to come out. Black on Black! I’m still pinching myself!!!!!

Will most likely be selling my 4003 JG w/Toaster to subsidize. Let me know if you’re interested!

cheers

Andy ... you are lucky I didn't see it ... And I even bought some stuff from Mike this week ... I've been busy with work and stuff this week ...

Hey if you get it and you can't adjust to the tight spacing ... e-mail me

If it doesn't work out, You'll be the first to know Jeff. I know how you feel about those S/5's! I'm considering (after a while) changing the strings from BEADG to EADGC. Any thoughts on that?

cheers

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH ... #$%&*!@?><&^%#$ ...

Sorry you asked ...

If you don't want a low B that play a 4003, or 4004, or 4001, or 4002, or 4000, or 2030, etc ...

Go with the low B Andy. I had an Ibanez a few years ago strung with the high C and really didnt care for it. Unless your into alot of chording I'd go with the low B.

On my dream list: a Rickenbacker 4004/6 tuned BEADGC

Glad you got that out of your system Jeff!

cheers
