Model 4000

chromium:
I prefer the look of Rics without binding - or with binding just on the back (like the 360).  I love the look of the 4000, 4001S, v63, etc..

There's been a slightly battered jetglo 4000 up recently too.  I don't think it sold yet:

The overly-optimistic $2,200 BIN price and the 97.2% feedback didn't help selling it... and either the TRC or the pickguard aren't original. But a 4000 does looks killer in Jetglo.

And Dave, a 4000 reissue could be great, especially if they make it with an active circuit with bass boost (4000A?)

I also like the ES125-T and the ES125-TD behind it:

uwe:
I think it looks like a 4001 with a stolen neck pup - weird!

(ducking ...)

Chris P.:
Unfortunately I didn't speak to the guy, but I shared a stage with a rock band with a Ricky player. From a distance his bass looked like a 4001 with a mudbucker in neck position. I know Ibanez made some (only bolt-on?) copies with EB2/3 style pick ups (mudbucker ánd mini humbucker). I believe the neck through Ibanezes have Rick-a-like pick ups?

However: After a while I noticed the bass had only two controls, so I think it could be a 4000 with added neck pick up.

I agree with Uwe about the missing-pick-up-looks.

SKATE RAT:
usually i like plain and simple basses,but with Rics i prefer all the fancy touches.4001 or 4003 for me please.
