Ok, im was wondering how many of us here have a Burgundy finished bass - the best finish IMHO.

MIne is one of the 2002 color of the year ones, has anyone else got one of these??? i dont recall anyone here having one (could be wrong tho)

Heres mine, the neck pickup is one of Sergio's:

30 years older! Mine's a vintage 1972 4001.

And I agree with you - There's something rather special about the Burgundyglo finish. It's in a class of its own. Best Rick finish ever.

i had a 73 burgandyglo identical to mark's on loan for most of last year. unfortunately it's back with it's rightful owner now. the worst thing was i was offered it about 5 years ago for £450 and turned it down. doh!

I have a 1979 that's so sweet I'm almost afraid to play it!

I have a March 74 4001 in burgundyglo. A classy colour, I think! The binding has yellowed, but the scratchplate remains white.

I do like burg and I've been looking around but without success. There has been one on Ebay Canada a couple of times; first time I bid on it but it got yanked off by the Ebay Trust Dept (so I guess the clues are there!). Came up again under a (n allegedly) different vendor over the w/e then just as mysteriously vanished again. Shame, it looked in good nick

My one looks great i think, tho i must say that it had the worst set up i have ever seen on a new rick, The nut was sky high and the saddles very badly cut.

Its a good player now tho!

Actually, that Canadian Burg is still on - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3748103921&fromMakeTrack=true#ebayphotohosting

But I must confess to misgivings. If it was pulled the first time, what's changed?

I've got a 2002 fretless. Absolutely beautiful.

My first Ric was a '78 4001 BG, I miss it a lot.

Burgundy is my favorite Ric finish, I wish it was still around. Ah well...

My '75 fretless, I'm still trying to find an output jack plate for her.

Owen,

No you are not the only one who has a 4003 year 2002 in Burgundy colour !!!! I simply love mine and probably the only one in Canada who has one from that year.

Mine is a '75 4001 burgundy, yellowed binding and still white scratchplate.
