Very cool. Congrats Angelo.

All of the colours they are offering are very nice. These will probably become quite collectable.

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 praise to those who deserve it so I salute Mr Hall and the staff at Rickenbacker, and especially Chris and Shelby Clayton of Pick of the Ricks for making it a reality to own one of these sweet basses, and as far as a collectors piece, im not a collector , im a player and mine will be getting lots of playtime and not hidden in its case to be later sold on ebay at a very, very, very high price, an instrument it built to be played and appreciated, wonder how many will pop up on ebay as soon as they are bought, you know its gonna happen....

Hello Eric my good brother, hope all is well, thank you for you kind words, I will be honest with you, I am truely and am extremely grateful to have had the opertunity to be able to get in one one of these IMO the the sweetest looking bass I have ever seen without question, as many know on here im not araid to speak my mind and often do, and know very well there are many on here not all that cringe and snarl at me when I make a post on here, and am sure right now there are some who are cursing me out stomping thier feet and are ****** that I was fortunate to acquire one of these beautiful gems, but thats ok im a grown man and have a very thick skin and can take it,however, I am man enough to admit that I have called Rickenbacker out on the carpet a few times about nothing new comming out the last couple of years or atleast offering a few diffent finish colors, well you guys stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam and kicked my butt, but thats a good thing, its what I as a customer been waiting for, feel free to kick my butt like this as many times and as often as all you at the Rickenbacker International Corperation as you would like..lol, once again, Thank you to Mr Hall and all the staff at Rickenbacker, for producing these gorgeous basses, cant wait to see the white and TV Yellow ones as well, im planning on getting a white one too, well Eric my good brother, thank you and promise a vid or two with her..take good care, wish all the best for the upcomming holidays and as always, stay safe.
