Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Any info if Ric will ever re-issue a RM Bass?

It's been years since I've even been back to this forum... quite frankly I gave up hope that they would. Just don't understand why RIC won't make what would (I think) be a HUGE seller!

The green Mouradian CS-74 was the first one made. Number 2 is the black one that is now in Japan.

All the Best,

FWIW, that is most likely NOT the 3rd one made, It ...

Don't see many of these!

Concerning this vintage of a pickup is it safe to conclude that:

Both the shoes AND the pole pieces are magnetized?

Nice Guitar.

I never knew original Horseshoes were made from aluminum!
