NAMM news/photos?

I really despise singlecut basses. They're so incredibly hideous. I don't care how well they play, they're too ugly.

Other custom features are fine, or at least tolerable, but seriously, who in the world thinks that all those bloated singlecut upper horns look anywhere near good?

Call me old fashioned, but there wasn't a bass in the photo collection that could hold a candle - aesthetically - to a Ric 4003.

Pics of Rics! Let's see some photos of the Rickenbacker booth and JH holding a new 1996 would be cool!

Thanks Alan!

Rickenbacker? Are they even at the show this year?

Wow! What happened to the figured maple on the CII??

That natural Cii is outrageous! IMO

Well – I’m disappointed that there isn’t a V68 hanging in that both or a Cii 5.

But congrats to the guys at RIC that booth looks superb! Hope they have a successful weekend.

I was totally positioned and prepared to pull the trigger on TWO V68’s if they were to materialize this weekend – one AFG and one MG.

Now, what to do with the budget?

I never expected anything big. So I took a gamble and a deep breath and bought these when they became available.

Wow Scott, nice!!!! The Blueburst especially.....

You know if Ricks cost the same in the UK as they do in the States, I'd have twice as many as I do!

Just wondering,

Has Rickenbacker ever released new models DURING the year, months AFTER a NAMM? I'm just trying to keeps my hopes alive for a 75th Anniversary model.

Someone had mentioned on another post that they should keep their schedule open in August. Mr. Hall also said something along the lines "we're thinking too small".

Yeah! in August Ric. is throwing an anniversary party all expenses paid by us.
