Yeah, I know how cliche this is, but odds are since you're here, you've got a Ric. What is it?

Personally I have a Fireglo 1999 360/12 and a 2001 Desert Gold 5002v58 with a Mapleglo 660 on the way.

Here's my list, at present:

I also have a 1976 4001 in Mapleglo, and a custom-finish 4001FL from 1978, back east. This list is subject to change. ;)

Very nice! I hope to pick one of those up one day.

Not one of yours, of course. Just one of those 4005 basses. :)

1985 230 FG
1990 360V64-12 FG
1992 1997 FG
1992 330-12 FG (soon to be replaced by a 1997 360 FG)
1997 330 FG (modded to a 345)
2004 4003 FG

& Kenny...you own any Ric that can be bought for $555.55!

I had the privilege of my first "real" bass being a 1977 MG 4001... this was back in 1977, mind you! For reasons I'd rather forget, I had to sell it in 1987.

Well 18 years later (just last week as a matter of fact), I finally became a Rickenbacker owner again by purchasing a very slightly used 4001C64S from a fellow member of The Rickenbacker Forum (thanx Bob!).

Color me one happy camper!

Great stuff!!!! My only Rick (so far) is a 2004 4003 Monty Brown with upgrades. Great new site!!!!

4005 - you have WAY too much cash! Throw some my way for a nice custom 381 or a 4005 of my own!

Actually , I just saw an 8-string 4005 on Gbase for like $19,000 that I really want. ;)

How are you all doing? I recognize some people here, some instruments and probably know everyone.
Here's my Ric list at present:
1972 4001FL Jetglo
1978 4001 Azureglo
1979 4001 Mapleglo
1981 4003 Burgandy
1996 4003 Jetglo
2000 4003 SeaGreen
2004 4003FL Blue Boy (on order)

The following Ricks grace my stable of instruments:

1974 4001 (Fireglo)
1978 3001 (Walnut)
2003 4003 (Montezuma Brown)

Each with their own unique character & personality. The 1974 4001 has made a bit of a comeback in my rotation as I just had the bridge pickup rewound by Lindy Fralin & the .0047 cap removed...
