+1. I use a Mono double that is very handy and secure....if I am handling the basses from point to point that is!

Pete - I got my Blueburst from Ricky at The Rickenbacker Asian Network. Try him:

Thanks Terry, I have Emailed him but not hopeful as I believe the 15 were for domestic US market, but now some have gone to Germany?
Not sure if that was extra over the 15 or not ...

They're priced at $400 above the standard list but of course the dealer decides the final price.

It's my understanding that from our side all 15 basses were sold within 10 minutes of the announcement but that doesn't mean every dealer has found a good home for every bass.

And if you're lucky ...

Eden.

Only in the evenings Eden?

That is simply stunning.

Lots of good advice here.

Humble words Pete, but I took mine to 2 really high profile luthiers here in WA, and they were both flummoxed, despite insisting they knew the exact fix.

Not for me, sorry.

The original E was pretty bassey when I played it prior to purchase, i believe it was probably somewhat dead as well. Do you know what you Petersland did to get it even across all of the strings. That would be awesome and solve my problem. I don't think I am asking too much? Am I?

I suggest ...

I am by no means an expert on Rics like many here are, but my new 4003 a few years ago had a dead E out of the case. I did some research and discovered that it wasn't that uncommon. I tried tweaking the set up myself, changed strings, all to no avail.
I then took it to 2 luthiers who said they could ...

Hi Jeff,

Yes it's great here in Margs, especially today. Not a cloud in the sky! Are you here this weekend? I'm in the wine business myself.

Pete is a good man - and does nice work on Rics. He was the only one to be able to fix some issues I had with mine a while back.

By the way, yes Perry ...
