Beautiful! But aren't all 4003 basses single truss rod?
Unlacquered board, standard single rod, easily adjustable bridge, non-lifting tailpiece, what's next on the road to normalcy? Volume knobs on top and tones on the bottom? Sacrilege!The skunk stripe will be a nice touch on the 4003SW.
Brown is boring but some walnuts weigh 8lbs., a whole pound less than the average maple-winged Ric bass.
The new truss rod is not easily removable , you have to take of the fretboard to get at it …
