I just received my new 4003W Ric bass and it is a beauty. I have several basses mostly Fender P's, a Fender Victor Bailey acoustic bass, a Sting Pbass with a telecaster maple neck, and a Hofner Beatle bass. I love them all and I have always wanted a Ric but never had enough cash for one. I now am the proud owner of a new walnut 4003W, and I love it. I do admit that getting used to the crisp growl sound is hard on someone who was used to Pbasses, but the versatility in the sounds this Ric can produce was worth the money and the wait. The sustain is fantastic, although hard to get used to at first. I play it through a GK 750w amp with twin 10's bottom and it rocks. If you can come up with the cash it is a very worthwhile investment. I think I found my new #1 bass for gigging. I have yet to try recording , but will let you know when I do.
