I might be able to post my photo of John's dark Azureglo 4005 that I took at SoCalCon, but I'm trying to keep the portraits I take exclusive so that I won't run into potential problems when I get the book published. The picture John posted above shows the bass well, but it's a bit dark. The color is like Navy blue, clearly not black, but darker than our usual interpretation of Azureglo.

The more light you have the more blue it looks:

Lost for words. That's about as fine as Rics get.

YEAH!
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

John,

Do you have any more photos of the one that isn't blue? From the back that looks really special as well...!
