Beautiful bass. I love that vintage Rick-style trapeze, never saw a 4-string version before.

The R tailpiece isn't as nice IMHO.

I do not make R tailpieces.

While we are on the "do you make" ..... thing:

Do you make aluminum sadles for early and pre '73 basses?

Dale what is the string spacing on your tailpiece and bridge?

Fantastic work, Dale. Can you post some pics of the sea green 4000?

Hey, no problem. I wasn't looking for a knock-off as I don't believe in trying to totally clone another manufacturer's bass. My own 4005-style project is an example. The other tailpiece is nice and has promise! I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Dale, what do you think about this one:

eb2 has posted this on the Ric board. I think your input is needed here.

I suspect it's quite a challenge at times for ALL of us on this forum.

Can you imagine what it's like in my household...?

(hmm... perhaps best not to...)
