When I bought my 4003, I immediately invested in a set of labelled knobs as the jazz bass style knobs it came with don't look right on a Ric, and I knew I'd forget which knob is which.

This magnificent instrument arrived on Tuesday. But I'm still in the challenge as I ordered it on the 29th December so it isn't a 2026 purchase! The red suede strap I ordered at the beginning of the year to go with it is also permitted in the rules of the challenge. Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop Firebird in Gibson Garage/ Gibson.com exclusive cherry transparent finish. It does mean though that this (almost as magnificent) instrument will be on its way out once I find a buyer.

Do It If You Wanna — Elmore James

I'm Always Touched By Your Presents Dear — Blondie

It would be better if it was in a metallic version of lavender mist, and a mustang bass.

The bottomless hole — The Handsome Family

Just seen the Andertons exclusive player II series jazz bass, jazzmaster, strat, & tele in lavender haze. This colour in nitro on a JMJ with no relicing shenanigans would look good. or perhaps a metallic version of lavender haze Wow! If I dismantle one of my daphne blue JMJs, where can I send the body to get this finish done in nitro, and what would the cost be? edit: matching headstock!

That reminds me, I would like a set of 40 60 70 95 Ernie Ball cobalt flats in 32" scale suitable for string-thru mustang basses to exist so I can try them on a JMJ.

There is a difference between the vibrato and chorus on mine but it seems to be a very subtle difference.

A special edition of the JMJ Mustang bass in a custom colour nitro with the production line's 'road-worn' operation bypassed.
