Does Dale or Paul Do glitter/sparkle finishes? I'd kind of like to have a sparkle finish WB or 381 with checkered binding. ;0)

In my case, i've wanted everything on my list before, but now it's all x10. x20 in the case of the mandolin!

"So tell me how Post-SoCal R.A.S. is different than regular every day R.A.S. As an analogy, is it like what you feel after eating a dozen White Castle sliders as opposed to only a half-dozen?"

It is different because actually seeing spectacular and unique Rickenbackers and being able to play them is different than seeing them on a website or in a store where they might have what you want in a standard model and finish.

Does that help?

My R.A.S. remains the same, one of each model in Fireglo.

My R.A.S? Simple...........

#2...... Paul's 'aged amber Fireglo' (or whatever) acoustic - lubbly jubbly!

#3...... Jerry's 650C with the gold bling - cool!

My list:

1. Joey's '74 (IIRC) 4001FG - what a player
2. Graham's (ex John B) 4005WB Burgandy - just so smooth!
3. Gary's 4002
4. Gary's 401V63FG
5. Darren's 4001AG - what tone!!
6. Kenny's 4005FG (Forest Green)

For me, 1 & 2 had the best neck. And the above are not necessarily in order.

John, my 4001 FG is a '79 and yes that one is a great player!

Steady now, Dave! We had to check the case after you and Lisa left Malone's to make sure it was still there! It is a beaut and tone monster, eh?

John, I gigged it out for 6 weeks straight before I came out to Calf.

Something special about that one. Once again Trott gets all the luck...

After much time waiting, here is Trotty seeing the bass for the first time at its' grand unveiling.
