Why not a 4000 reissue?

With a horseshoe.

Maybe if they made a real horseshoe instead of the fauxshoe they use now .

... The 4001/3 lacks a true bridge pickup; its 'treble' pickup is too far from the bridge to produce Jaco-type tones. And the neck pickup makes the bass unsuitable for slap. ...

Both of those are features, not deficiencies!

Does the world need more Jaco-type tones and more slap? I hope not!

I have to agree with this.

A Ric with J pickup layout will not sound like a J. The 4002 didn't.

Ilan, the well-kept hidden secret to playing funky slap on a stock Ric 4001/4003 is

- wearing a hat,
- a tie and
- a bass-finish-matching shirt/V-neck sweater combo!

It's easily done, you want proof? Here @ 06:51 ...



And don't be mad, don't be maaaaad, Ilan (@ 09:11)!!!

Finish doesn't influence sound, but color sometimes does.  :popcorn:

That's an odd combination of Ric things. I don't hate it, but I also don't exactly love it. Different color would probably help.
