4003s it's here!
« on: April 21, 2015, 10:42:36 AM »
   I got a email from the HOG this morning,  they got in a mapleglo 4003s so I popped in to pick it up. Beautiful bass for sure. Pictures tomorrow!

Beautiful.

And it looks like they've changed the pickguard shape - now back to sharper corners and NO DOUBLE-HUMP! Or is it just camera angle?

I can't weigh it but it is one of the heavier Rics I have owned, certainly not bad.

They do and you can buy it directly from RIC. I have one on my '73 and it's a fantastic pickup.
