Ooops, too late...

Hello all,
I am a new member and thought I'd contribute a picture of my 4003. There are probably dozens of 4003 Jetglo basses here, so I had to think of some original way to present it!

This was purchased new a few months ago, my first Rickenbacker. It is a fantastic guitar in all respects.

I've been reading all the old posts---this has got to be the best site on the net, bar none. The forum is as addicting as owning a Ric!

Regards,
Andrew Messer

4003 in Jetglo, 17th week of 2003

Sorry for the double post, but I'll try to create a hyperlink to the image in the previous post:

Cool Ricks, guys. Mike- your mapleglo almost looks like it has the walnut head wings. Did you modify it, or is it just a woodgrain/light/camera angle thing?

I only wish this was a picture of My Custom Rickenbacker 8-String bass. Found it while surfing the other day and thought I should share:

Wow! Totally rad!

Whoa-its that upside-down headstock again.

Still, I like the 8-banger in Autumn...

Night is fine too...

Ok, Ok, where the HECK did that guy get that bass? I want one! That makes even my old 8 look pretty dull. Any info anybody? Mr.Hall?

That bass looks looks like it was customized. I've never known RIC to make a V63/C64 8 string, especially with the lefty headstock and walnut wings. I could be wrong though, JH could answer that one. Nevertheless, it's a cool looking bass.

You bet that is a customized bass ... aint it cool ... I love it ... I am currently staining the headwings of my 4003s5 walnut to look like this ....

this was done in photoshop ... real photos coming soon ...

Okay, Okay time to fess up.
I found that "sweet thang'" at the following URL:

Custom Rickenbacker Reversed Head 8-string

Possibly another of those made by Rickenbacker for the Japanese market like the V63 with checkerboard binding series.

Don't know how but I sure would love to get my hands on one of these too.
