Back again for its second stop at my house(this time to stay) is the 1989 Rick 4003 Midnight Blue/Black Trim Monster!!!!!

I love the moon-and-stars paint job, it's good to know that the bass sounds awesome too.

Congrats on the new bass!

Love those Ricks!

 They're both beauties and I dig the custom paint, very cool!

Truely the bass I regret selling was my '73 4001, ah well, I'll find one again someday.
