Harry: As the Stones sang "Congratulations." Please take a nice photo and post it for everyone to see. We call all relate to the excitement of getting a Rickenbacker.

Paul: Please be careful. Very many more of those mesmerizing photos and I'm going to have to buy a Rickenbacker! I am geeting very sleepy... gotta buy a Rickenbacker!

I have a 4004Cii on order at Sodja's. I've been dealing with Dick Sodja now for about 33 years.

Getting sleepy, Peter?
Then may you have a sweet dream in which you walk into Ed Roman's Vegas store and buy up ALL the Ricks in sight.

Welcome Harry ! You'll find that this site is addictive

Hey Scott,

Is it possible we can meet up sometime in Columbus? I'd love to see your 4004Cii. I go down there every year for Winterfair at the Fairgrounds first weekend of December.

Possible, we got plenty of time to make plans. Let me know what you got in mind.

I'll e-mail you off forum.

Harry, welcome to the club and congratulations on that new mapleglo. Nothing like a Rickenbacker. Let me guess, first you played it for a while, then you put it in a stand and stared at it for another long while, huh.
Hey Jeffrey and Scott, I live in Columbus, so if you are planning to come this way in December let me know and I could probably join up with you. I can bring along my '68 4000. My '86 4003jg is a little more common so, no need to have it tag along. Anyway, drop me an email and we can put something together.
Randy.

Hiya Randy,
"Let me guess, first you played it for a while, then you put it in a stand and stared at it for another long while, huh. "

You got it brother

That's not weird, right? Because that's what I told my wife and she acted like she didn't believe me.

Harry

I usually leave my basses in the guitar stands and find myself constantly staring at them. All my life the first thing that caught my eyes in music stores were Ric basses (and guitars)

I don't have enough stands for all my instruments!

Ditto here, Jps!

Harry, congrats on the Mapleglo, but wouldn't you know, just today I saw a local want ad for a 'candy apple Rickenbacher [sic] bass' - for $800! Of course, the ad didn't give the year, condition, etc., so that may or may not be a good price after all.

If anyone is interested in this one, I can take a look at it for you and give an update with what I find. Just post a note here in the thread or e-mail me. (I already have a 1982 (VB) 4001 Ruby, so I don't really want another one, otherwise I'd buy it myself.)
