Members jackcheez Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 A 4004L actually sells for a little more than a 4003 if you can find one. I paid $1700 for a new 4004L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators isaac42 Posted April 18, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 18, 2008 oh yeah that one is a beauty , do you have any clips ? No. I'm not much of a soloist, and in a band context, there's not a huge difference. Maybe I could do something, if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could do something, if you'd like. I sure would ! The clips are as elusive as the instruments , even hard to find good Lemmy clips , seems most of them are 4001's or 3's . Nothing fancy don't go crazy , I would love to hear it even if just strumming a few notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackcheez Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'll have a 4004L clip up as soon as the band's new web site is up. It should be soon. The song ain't mustard for chops, but the first note says RICK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rickenbrother Posted April 20, 2008 Members Share Posted April 20, 2008 The 4004 basses are still in production. Last that I heard, they are still completely made by hand, so they are made in small batches, maybe a couple of times in a year. The next batch that should go into production this month or next might be made in the new CNC machines. I not sure about that. Though I'm pretty sure most of them are already pre-ordered. It's funny people complain that they want to see something new from RIC, then they make something new and people want the models that RIC has always made. The 4004 basses are outstanding and they are bass guitar world's best kept secret.They are not easy to find. If you found one at $800, you got a steal, Kenny! I'd say they would go for $1400 to $1800 for a used one in very good to excellent condition. More for a color of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
