Default NBGD!- It's Big, It's Red And It's Not Acoustic!

Delivered about 1 hour ago - just wanted to share with everyone.

2018 Rickenbacker 4003 Fireglo.



Purchased from 'Olivia's Vintage' in Carbondale, Illinois, USA.

They double boxed the guitar superbly and the guitar has been beautifully set-up.

Nice bass! Rickys are among the best you can get at any price, IMHO.

Very nice Brucebubs. What a beauty. Quite a wait, but it was worth it.

It was ready to be delivered last week but my sister passed away (ALS - On the same day as G.Bush Snr.) and I had to travel interstate for her funeral - I asked UPS to hold off delivery and they were excellent - not a problem.

Nice - looks like more of a '60s Rick-style cherryburst Fireglo than the "pinkburst" I couldn't stand in the '80s-90s...

BTW, whatcha using for amplification...?

Use it well, often, and LOUD... ;guitar:

My favourite sounding bass guitar, especially when flat-picked. What a beauty!

Sorry for your' loss Bruce. I lost a sister to MS, right around this time of year.

That bass is a real beauty. I love Ricks, especially fireglow. Play it in good health.

Sorry for your loss.

Nice looking Ric! I've got a couple of 360's left from a Rickenbacker binge.
