Thanx guys for all the comments about the 'Burg beast of 75. Been with me from new. Just tellin Nate .... has a far purer ringy sound than any 4001 I've ever heard or played. How do you guys feel about the difference in the sound of 4000/4001 ? Interested to hear your experiences.

Heres comes Kevo and the newly named Burgundy Beast of 75'.

Hi Jeff ..... no its translucent. Grain easily visible too. A guy from Rick head office reckons that 'ruby' is opaque and that 'burgundy glo' can greatly vary. Trouble is if I solve this colour question it means I've lost another excuse for checking out other Ricks in music shops

Hi everyone .. I've had my Ricky (reg Oct 75) from new. Love it madly but I have never been able to put a name to the colour ! It has no yellow, is too light for Burgundy and according to the lists ..... Ruby was'nt introduced until the 80's ...............Aaaagh can anyone pls help?
