There are plenty of famous musicians who use either a 4001 or 4003, but you should play one yourself to see how it sounds, feels, and plays for you personally. Good luck, I hope you find what you seek.

You can go to my website, found in my profile. There you'll hear short sound clips of some of my basses. Some of them are not the best quality recording, but you'll get the idea of the sound. Ric5 also has some sound clips of his Rick basses on his website: http://www.3dentourage.com/425/hear.htm

Technically you're both right. Waters was the bassist but, Gilmour played bass on a lot of the recordings, including the fretless on "Hey You", among many others, and he played the Ric on some of those recordings, I am told. It seems Gilmour is a better bassist than Roger, not surprisingly.
