  1. Thanks for the info-yes, I checked out the manual too, it is a bit vague. My concern isn't so much about how to adjust the neck as it is that they come from the factory with not much relief (Yes, they were both new, and both set up the same, otherwise the necks are fine). I'll give the RIC forum a shot, I hope they don't take offense with how they set up the basses af the factory!
  2. I know that this is a topic more appropriate for the RIC forum, but I'm looking for more independent opinions here-especially since I've heard that RIC is ultra-sensitive about their products. I bought a couple of 4003 basses in the last year or so, and they still have the 'factory' setup-so they seem a bit buzzy at about the first 5 frets. They play fine, but this bothers me a bit, since no other bass that I know of is like that. I've done some research online about how to adjust one (one site says you should adjust the truss rods while the neck is under tension)-opinions and experiences welcome. One thing that gets me about Ricks is that they say if you change the strings to any brand other than their own, it voids the warranty!
  3. BTW, not only did Brian May get his Doctorate in Astrophysics from Imperial College, London recently; BUT he's ALSO being named Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University (they apparently have a well known astrophysics research institute). I heard for Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee, he played guitar on top of Buckingham Palace! He gets around, doesn't he?
