Now I could afford that...but then the buggers would hit me with tax and that
(( Tis a beaut of a bass. What do they play like compared to the 4003?

Yeah, but that UK auction is unreasonable

Compared to the US it is unreasonable but compared to prices in the UK I think it's not too bad. At the moment I'm after a Ric as a back up bass though and this is far to much to pay for a back up bass! I'd be afraid to use the thing!

Ronan, to answer your question on the sound of the C64 compared to a 4003 - I own these basses among others and can tell you that the C64 has a nice and warm sound where as the 4003's sound is a little more "flat". (The C64S sounded the same as the non S when I played them just felt/looked different, of course).
Last night I used my C64 MG for a show with my band here in Tel-Aviv. The sound guy said he would not touch the board's EQ because the bass sounded perfect. He even prefered it to my V63(!). I was a bit nervous playing it on a show for the first time - you know - banging it by accident, scratching it etc' but thats all over now and I'll use it again on Saturday.
This is not a new idea, but I think you should check how much tax you'd have to pay and consider importing one from the US. Good luck.

Cheers Marc. Hope the show went well. What kind of music/band are you in. I was in Tel Aviv a few years back and was suprised by the vibrant music scene at the time.

My band is RockFour - check out our site (rockfour.com) and tell me what you think. Yes, Tel-Aviv is amazing and there are some (not many...) Rics around there too.
