A mapleglo 325 (or related model - 320, 310, 315) with a nice warmed-up aged finish, white guard and trc, and an f-hole. Just about any vintage, though of course 60s would be ideal. After that, I think an azureglo 325 from the 70s or 80s. Sharp.

I would include double bound "F" and Capri models amongst those as well. So long as it's double bound, I'm interested. :lol:

I've changed my mind. My bucket list Rick would be a 330/12 that need a restoration job; add double checkered binding, have the sound hole bound, toasters added, full width triangle inlays, 360 wiring, vintage knobs, and a never before seen burst finish.

I actually just got it!

It's a 1993 360 WB FG in fabulous, almost-mint condition; currently replacing the Hi-Gains with Vintage toasters, and detailing, buffing, and shining it to pristine perfection!

And, I just acquired my "other" bucket list guitar about a month ago; an awesome, almost-mint 360/12 C63.

The bucket's full, and life is GOOD!

sigh...would have to be an f-hole Rose Morris model in fireglow, with trem. gorgeous, gorgeous guitar. i'd want a later day reissue though, since i'm a lefty, and would want the "proper" rick headstock, not the "upside down" one they used to do.
i will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed, or numbered.

4005, 360F, '59 360 Capri, or lately I'm leaning toward jimK's way of thinking.

On the RIC corporate website, under Gallery/1960s/Basses, there is a pic showing a 4005 and a 4001. I would like to have the 4001:

Does anybody know what year those basses would have been built?
