The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Hmm, I think the skunk stripe looks too wide...
:lol: :lol: :lol:

OK, that's something that gets my attention... Now, if they'd done the outer binding in black, I'd be selling some equipment, trucks, etc. just to buy it... Hmm, wait a minute, I'm selling all that stuff anyway, maybe... Nah, I probably shouldn't... :?
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Love that bass - well done RIC! The skunk stripe and headstock wings along with the black pickguard and checkerboard binding give it a bit of a 4002 vibe.

It's probably quite light too.... I suspect it would be a resonant tone monster!!

Yeah, you're right... That one is just too gorgeous! Even my wife thinks I should get it...

I guess I'm just gonna have to fight Craig over this one... 8)

Hey, that's an implication of a novel idea! RIC building their own fakers, to cash in on the apparently growing market for such things! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Look carefully, it has a bolt on neck and its the wrong scale length and if we could see inside all the routing would be all wrong.. :mrgreen: :lol:

I really like this one, though I'd swap the black plastic out.
