From my experience with a 2030GF, Rick bolt-neck basses can be pretty amazing sounding.  :)

And, I can't comment on the set-neck solidbody Ricks not having ever owned one, but my old 4005WB was solid as a rock for the 38 years I owned it.  8)

The few 220s and 2020s I've tried sounded great but the necks were way wider than I like. Maybe the actual dimensions didn't reflect it but they sure felt that way, in combination with the back profiles.

My 2030GF had a neck that was just a bit thicker than my '73 4001 with the same nut width.  There was another one i played several years ago that belonged to a friend with a bigger neck, so I guess it depends on the particular sample.

The 2030GF, inspired by Glenn Frey's bass lines.  ;)

Much like the Gibson LP basses, inspired by Lester Polfus's bass lines  :mrgreen:

I always thought that was one of the cool things about the 2030GF, actually.  Makes it very unique among signature instruments.  8)
