I still wonder if choosing the name Montezuma Brown for the color of the year was meant as a joke.

I was thinking the same thing!

He most certainly did not stand in the shadows.  R.I.P.

Recently acquired.  Question for fellow late-model Ric owners: One thing that puzzles me is the taper of the tone controls (but this may be normal for a Ric)...there's very little impact on the tone when you roll them off until you get almost all the way down...and then the highs roll off very quickly in the last 20% of the knob's travel. Both pickups' tone controls are same in this respect.

Trying not to overthink it....I'm really just curious about the fact that they are not as "linear" as other passive basses. Specifically if that's normal for late model 4003's. Said another way, is my instrument defective or is the behavior to be expected from a stock late-model 4003?

Guessing its normal, but I appreciate any input you may have for me. Thank you.

Nice.   I've had an AB40SH for a few years, sunburst.  Let me know how you got  the action low enough.  My bridge saddles are bottomed out and it's still a bit high for my liking.

I have a v3 Rumble 100 that I use for practice and the occasional REALLY SMALL gig.  I have also played through a v3 Rumble 200 that was provided back line for a medium sized room.  I'm pretty impressed with both the lightness and sound versatility on these.  I can pick up the v3 100 with my pinky finger...literally.

Thanks!

Does this look right?
