beerdragon Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'd like to hear one of those Ricks in full cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setekh Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 they look sleek had heard about adapting a 4-string neck to a 5-string, but I guess string spacing is very small...and are they comfortable to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJ Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hey,good call on that. Had wondered for a while,as a Ric owner what a 5 string would sound like. I know they used to do the 4003 as a 5er,and there's always the current 4004 5 string but Ive heard that thats a different beast to a 4001 or 4003 due to the humbuckers.Apparently you dont get the same growl. If anyone's interested,my 4003' taken quite well to B E A D tuning,and I dont miss the G string either.In fact,having tried a stingray 5 string at band practice tonight(1st time Ive used a 5 properly for sometime)I actually realise I think Ill always be a 4 string slinger. Still,wouldnt mind trying a modified Ric 4003.The necks pretty chunky as it is but Id rather that than a matchstick-like Jazz neck..Ill just run and hide.....
