Is it true?

Hello,
I´m new here in this forum and play several Rickenbacker basses
for 23 years. Februar 08 I ordered a mapleglo 4001c64 here in Germany.
Is it true that have to wait 24months for it

?

Ja genau. That is probably pretty typical these days.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase.

That wait time is probably true.

Here in Germany they told me it would last 13 months.
Do you think it depends on the colour? Maybe Rickenbacker would deliver faster
if I ordered this bass in fireglo?

MG and FG are the two most common colors, I would think. It probably does not matter which you ordered.

Welcome, Albrecht!

RIC is trying to cut the backlog down, so we can hope that your wait time will be a bit less than 24 months.

Congrats on your new purchase!

What part of Germany are you from?

Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid the wait may be true.

Thank you very much.
Now I have more time to save my money

I´m living in Rheinland-Pfalz.

That is a beautiful part of Germany. I spent the better part of 2 weeks along the Rhein a few years back. It was a very pleasant time. Someday I will be back there but probably not until the dollar is closer in value to the Euro.

Sounds like the backlog is serious, and has been for a while. But don't be too lax about gtting the money up. In 2001 I was told by the factory 6-8 months for a new 650 Dakota. I had to scramble for the cash 2 weeks later...

I don't think you can expect that sort of a surprise, but 24 could easily become 12 or so.

Welcome aboard!

You´re right. The money for the 4001c64
is in secure.

Hi Albrecht, welcome to the forum... I hope the wait isn't that long - good luck with it!

Look on the bright side then, while you wait, the money is earning interest! Welcome, too!
