I actually don't think they are crap - and I have actually played one (a walnut 4003 and it was really nice)
"Yo, check out my new xxxxx bass"
"Cool man, I bet that grooves"
"Yeah, yeah it does"
"I've got a xxxxx bass - that grooves too"
"Nice man, yeah I bet that grooves too"
NOTE: Apart from MM Bongos. They are just bloody stupid.
I did sense a wind-up .

I'm not sure if I need a Ric or a semi like a guild or harmony to fill out territory that the P can't do tho.
And dont say Jazz - I just can't compute Jazz necks.
70s 4001s also tend to have narrow necks - not as skinny as a Jazz, but significantly so compared to your P. If you want a Rick with a wider neck, you actually probably need a 4003 from around 2006 onwards - I had one of those before my '73, and the neck was a lot wider and slightly shallower.

Then again, I guess I'll have the same problem with a lot of early semis as well. I'd go for an Epi Rivoli but they are stupid slim nuts
What's worse is when you try and watch a bass demo on Youtube and some showoff spends the whole thing playing slap, and you have no idea how it would sound in the real world playing stuff you would actually play.

As is my '64 Ric.
(It is used/worn, of course...)
