The Cheyenne only with a bubinga fingerboard rather than rosewood and the pickup covers are all black with no metal casing.

Need to see them in blue burst.
They would all look better with the pickups angled the other way with the bridge-side edge at right angles to the strings, and the Rick triangle fingerboard inlays.
And one less string.

One of the sounds for which Ric 4000 family bass guitars are best known is kinda clanky and not exactly over-endowed in really low frequency content. Taking this sound another four semitones lower seems somewhat pointless.
A more interesting development, perhaps, would be along the lines of Cliff Burton's modified example.

My opinion is that they are pretty cool and I have to say that Ric were a bit radical in making those pickups.
I'm also a 5-string fan.
On the minus side, the neck is thicker, I don't think the pickguard suits, the bridge is a cop-out, and they shouldn't be 4003 models.
I'd like to try one.
