Cool! Hey, you might just get one from NAMM!

I have no idea, but I'm guessing the guys at RIC are smart enough not to show off something at NAMM that they know will produce orders without having a plan for getting at least some instruments into production pretty quickly...

CJ, RIC. RIC, CJ. :lol:

In fairness, CJ did say "at least some." :wink:

But Bob, you couldn't have picked a model with (IMHO) a longer wait!!! Well, maybe 381/12!!! :shock:

The Ruby bass is nice, but that mplglo Cii blows all of them out of the water, and im not a mplglo fan, but that one is absolutely gorgeous..

For sure, Jason! I was all set on a 360 - then I saw the 381.. ! I've e-mailed Chris Clayton to see if he can arrange it; maybe there's some NAMM inventory for quick sale.

I'm liking the JG 4004. Its very subtle. I know its not a new model, but it just looks striking.
Dane: A 4001 conversion would look fantastic on the ruby 4004 by the way!

It's certainly not a grumble to say that it's a great new color but I was hoping for checkerboard binding. The color won't get me to pry open my wallet but a Ruby with CB and I'd be on the phone tomorrow ordering. That or some new devious 4004 model.

I think it is nice to have them add a new color, but I don't see it as being negative against the posters of the pictures if someone says he/she was hoping for something different. NAMM is where dreams are made! Dream big, I say.

After seeing my Cii and pictures of that mapleglo, I don't understand why anyone would want ruby on a Cii (but, then again, I don't know why anyone would ever want a jetglo, either :mrgreen: ).

I do think it is a really nice solid color. It reminds me a little of the DCM with its depth.

Thanks everyone for posting all of these pictures for those of us who can't get there.
