Congratulations John.

And I'll wait for a lefty 4005LS. (I won't hold my breath though!)

Nice find John, but now that means there is one less to go around. I hope that when I get out of Grad school there will still be a 331 left that I can purchase!

The pair look great. I like the swirling on the Burgandyglo better than the "universe" pattern on the jetglo, but each is unique and cool in their own right.

A lefty 4005LS? Are you serious? I don't think RIC ever produced one. Anyone?
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

I think that you are right Sergio. I'm sure that there aren't any lefties out there.

They are actually both BG if you can believe it. Pretty big difference in color for the same year...

You're right, the one on the right does look darker! Image

Nope, just got a big white square with a small "Q" in the middle.

Sounds like you need to install Quicktime 7.x - apple.com. The video won't play with the earlier versions. I did try it on Windows with IE & Firefox and it worked for me, so I'm fairly sure the Quicktime version is the issue here...
