SBAudio Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Well.. finally managed to snag a 4003 for a reasonable price. I feel like the 2nd hand market priced have finally begun to reach the bottom in the UK and I couldn't let another one slip through my fingers! I believe it's a 4003CB in Autumnglo, 2022. Best bass I've ever had the privilege of playing, no less owning. Super happy. Couldn't help but to also post it with a pic of my other modified Squier Classic Vibe 60's Mustang (DIY refinish from cream poly, and white pickguard) since it's my first post here. Cheers! 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! x2 With the mustang it was a gamble with what could have been under the poly finish, but I was quite lucky! The darker area on the left side is just the natural colouration, as is the cute little beauty spot on the right side. I daren't show the reverse side as I started there with a heat gun and putty knife and it looks battle scarred as hell 😂 but it's smooth thanks to filler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ding on the headstock looked so much worse in their photos than in person. It's immaculate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Rickenbacker's, I've owned a couple but that one really stood out and if I had the funds, I'd have beaten you to it! 😆 Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBass Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Congrats, it looks great. One day, I'll treat myself to a Ric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I saw that ric just a few hours too late. If I’d seen it earlier I think I’d have snagged it. Out of interest does it have one or two truss rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
