I have never had a Ruby bass, perhaps it is time I did! :wink:

POTR has a bunch of goodies on order. Just saying. 8)

The Rubys on display at NAMM all look great even in the artificial lighting of the Anaheim Convention Center.

Now, get them in sunlight, and I bet they are absolutely stunning ...

I think it will look even better with black pickguard and TRC. Kinda Gibson-y.

Like that.
Definitely! Now, if only it could also be ordered with black binding.. Or better yet, black & check binding!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

wow that's awesome news. I've always wanted a burgandyglo bass but now I could probably settle for a ruby. They look quite nice.

I don't really like the purpleish hue they have in that pic but the pics I saw from NAMM were pretty sweet

Not much of a 'settle.' They're quite hot!

YAY!

Again, RIC has answered the pleas of many on this forum. Thanks, RIC!

Oddly, I woke up this morning with this song in my head...and visions of my Ruby 4003S.

Sing it in unison...
