slobber,drool,lust...just freakin' gorgeous,jdog! on the subject of wiring options,when i owned your 4002,i had coil taps on both of the sd pickups,allowing for a LOT of great tonal variations,and would love it if something similar could be done with my cii,but i would hate to mess with the sound i am already getting from it-i am gonna get a VVT done soon,tho. someone (maybe jeff rath?) once posted on here about not being able to get a good sound from tapping the hb-1's,so i dunno how feasible that is. "snake" is a perfect name,btw!

Same here. If I hadn't seen the one at NAMM I wouldn't have even considered this, especially unseen. But Chris' word is gold when it comes to Ricks, so I knew I couldn't lose.

Must be the sunshine. That's gold. Thanks for the heads up on the HB1's. Thankfully wiring mods are reversible!

Jason, that is one bee-U-tee-ful bass. Congratulations!! I like green as a color in basses but this might be the best looking yet - great grain!!

Can I join the club? I bought this BlueBoy yesterday :D

It's my second Rickenbacker, the Fireglo is my '94 that I bought new in '98. It's been in a store for 3.5 years.

Ok Tammy,

Since you asked!

Here are a few quick shots. Then I'm off to my laptop to post some more!

Sorry, I started playing her and lost track of time!

VERY OVERCAST here today, so inside shots will have to do! :(

Not as much flame as Jdog's or what we saw at Namm, but it's there..just not showing up well in the indoor shots. :(
