Limited run of 27 4003 CB SPC MB

I'm not sure it would be a Ric without that big gaping hole .

Case in point: the redesigned S5

[BTL]

I don't understand why they didn't build the 4003 pickup into an open-style shell or even a toaster shell and fabricate a larger version of that to be used in the 5 string bass.

I agree these look pretty "965 space age" hokey.

Two pickups of similar character makes more sense than trying to marry two wildly different pickups.

As much sense as mating a J with a P.

Just announced by RIC.

This looks horrible. I at first thought it was a badly photoshopped April's Fool joke, like something Rob would do, except he does it better.

A grotesque aberration.

[Basvarken]

I wouldn't dare!

It looks like  a pair of harmonicas.

There's a bass in the Ric showroom that had been loaned to that guy in Led Zeppelin that has a similar pick guard . It's been a change to see some different things come out , some interesting one offs the rough the Ric Boutique , and now some small runs . I blame this on Ben .
If they ever do a short scale 325 shaped bass I'll be in danger of hocking a kidney .

How about a 360-shaped short-scale with checker binding? Done and dusted. Just made 90 of them in celebration of the company's 90th anniversary.

It's the 325 or 350 shape that will have me scrambling . Although I do think the 4005cx is gorgeous .

Wow, I like that maple one. I'd like it more if it were white!

Exactly .
I have a suspicion they're eventually going to do one .
