Withdrawn - owing to the fact that I am now actively playing again and loving this bass - maybe reappearing in the next few years!

 

My beautiful limited edition 4003 in a rare and striking looking 'Walnutburst' finish. This sounds as good as it looks with a fantastic sounding deep growl and smooth high end - low action, no fret buzz. which suits the neck. Certificated. Serial no in the pix - 12 - 04633 Manufactured on 2nd week of January 2012 - around my birthday in fact and is one of only 25 on the planet :) . I shall also include a black scratch plate / TRC (non original) and OHSC.

 

Am selling, as I am winding down a bit from performing and need to clear some gear - and I have a spare....

 

Collection is infinitely preferred, though if not too far and in the Essex / Suffolk / North Kent / Surrey area, could deliver for fuel considerations to be agreed!

I have a mint one of these and its definitely one of my favourite basses ever. So classy in walnutburst. Good luck with the sale. I wonder who has the other 23 😄

My old 4003, which left me in perfect condition, This is a good 4003, good solid E string,  It left me sounding superb and was set up to play at fairly low action, obviously cannot comment on the set up at the moment, it was a good sounding Ric compared to others. When I purchased the bass I had a choice of 3 , this was the one that sounded best.

It sounds and feels exactly the same as when I bought from you, George, though slightly less trebly as I have strung with flats! 😀. The playability is wonderful as a result!

I did wonder whether to put flats on mine but it sounds and plays so nice as it is I don't want to mess that up. I'd love to put a gold pickguard and trc on it - but impossible to get hold of a good one.

I am sure it does, it is a great instrument, putting the finish aside.

Gig Ink over on Rickenfakers does plates n trc

I have used him in the past on an old Ric I had.. Black plate and TRC which he would only do on proof the Ric is genuine...
