    Is the Ric 4003SW the lightest 4003 currently in production?

    I've been GAS'ing over getting a Ric 4003s recently. Between getting a mapleglo and a walnut body. Which is the lightest? I just noticed on the bass weight table The Talkbass table of bass weights has moved! someone has recorded their 4003SW as 7lb 12oz which is quite a bit lighter than other...

    Cool vintage Ric

    I was at NAMM's Museum of Making Music this morning and saw this cool Ric: From 1935, and with a 1935 bass combo behind it. Retro styling! I'd rock it if I could afford it.

    Fireglo or Walnut Ric 4003, and why?

    I have a choice, yet cannot choose. Fireglo: Rare. Instantly recognisable as a Ric. For me, Fireglo is the Ric colour. Looks beautiful. "Yeah! A Ric, now we're talkin'!" Walnut: Rarer. Just looks bloody beautiful, on it's own merits, before you clock that it's a Ric. "...and it's a Ric! Wow!"

    When Did Ric Start Making The Necks Fatter on the 4003?

    I'm thinking mid-90's but am not certain. Anyone know for sure? Personally, I prefer the old, thinner neck, but I'm sure others like the fatter ones. I'm starting to look at buying a Ric again and want to seek out ones with the thinner neck.

    Rick Toaster vs Classic Amplification neck pup

    Anyone have any experience or compare a Rick Toaster vs a Classic Amplification neck pup? Lots of people post they like the Classic Amplification neck pup better than the Rick Hi-Gain neck pup, but I haven't read how a Classic Amplification neck pup fares against a Toaster.

    Ric 4001 neck reinforcement

    Hello all. I remember reading a while back about a guy who restored a '60s 4001. I think part of the restoration included him adding some carbon fiber reinforcement in the neck. Can anybody tell me if they know of any Ric specialists who would do/are still doing that sort of thing?
