I just snagged an old Ric pickup off Ebay, and am also bidding on a Ric wiring harness. Next project bass is about ready to begin. Combo of Les Paul and Ric ideas.

Maybe you can combine an exploding "R" tailpiece with a snapping mahogany headstock. :mrgreen:

LOL! This bass is going have the Schaller 460 bridge I've been saving.

Drop-dead gorgeous Walnut 4001, double bound (inner white, outer black), black TRC and guard. Looks a lot like the Walnut 4002 prototype on the Smith book (p.211).
Ted Staberow over at the RRF says that it's a Walnut 4001 with double binding and that RIC has made a few like that. Still I think there's something special about this one, and it could be some sort of a test instrument. The non-stamped jack plate, the beveled edge guard (4002's had beveled edge guards), and what looks like a beveled-edge Plexi TRC.
