michaelhansonThat's the one I want Drew. Probably maple glo or fire glo...only because eyes already gots a jet.
I actually would prefer fire glo - the jet glo was just because I found a nice one at a nice price. So I'm jealous of Mr. Bapu. And the rare Tuxedo white is one of my dream basses, but it's doubtful they'll ever make any more of them.
Mine is actually a late '90's 4001V63, which is a bit different from some of the other "S" or vintage models. The current 4003S seems to only have the the mono output and the cosmetic differences (no binding, dot inlays), but the 4001V63 also has the toaster PU in the neck and the closer-to-the-neck PU positioning, which is at least different though not necessarily better. And oddly, I'm not sure if
any of them have/had the bass cut cap on the bridge PU, though it's a really easy mod.
But Ric is a quirky company.
