Haha, I'd have been kinda disappointed if there were no grumbles! Not EVERYONE deserves to be happy you know

That's the one Pearl Red works at....

Thanks Brian, im extreamly estatic about it, my hats off to Mr Hall for producing these basses, not only is it one two colors im been dying to have a Ric finished in, but its a C64 too, im probably gonna jump on a white one too beside the sea foam green, but yea im a honest man and give credit and ...

Oh, I'm sure there will be some disparaging remarks to those as well from our not so subtle passive aggressive members..Wait for it.....

You just had to get some work done didn't you?

Glad to hear you enjoyed your Birthday!

Coming from me, this might sound somewhat contrary, but...Color schmolor...This thing is a player..Nice neck, and Humbuckers, seriously, this baby can rock..I've heard it. Different, and unique, but undoubtedly Rickenbacker..

Someone got a great deal...

Shouldn't have to wait long! Got another one coming up soon..It has fewer strings though..We had to hire a blacksmith to put the pickups in too..What a PITA...Perhaps I've said too much....

Certainly more satisfying than getting a measly Grand out of a custom "one off" Rickenbacker Bass neck...

Stay tuned, we have a few more surprises in store

It's not really even close, even though the pics might suggest otherwise..The CS bass color has more yellow, and this guitar is most certainly on the brown side of "cream" color..The contrast with the black binding and hardware is pretty striking in person.

I know, and although frustrating, I shall say no more about it here...Just a "few beers" induced rant which stops here

And of course, there's the expected bashing of this on another forum that shall not be spoken of...Pity how grinding an axe is more important than appreciating an instument for what it is...Having said that, whoever gets this better PLAY it, because this thing plays soooo awesome..It doesn't deserve...

I believe that Al Nichol played a Rick with the Crossfires, the surf band that became The Turtles...
