Dear John Hall

[The Mod Lang]

I just can imagine John Hall reading this thread and just laughing

If he reads the part about the donkey there is no way he'd ever release the 4005 again...or play it

[cjj]

Well, he was the one who came up with that particular reference in the first place...

really? Anyhow, I think this has given me an idea for my next photoshop project/RRF avatar...

JG is the only color for me. Everything else is unneeded excess.

This prompts two questions:

1.) What does "need" have to do with buying another guitar?

2.) Is excess bad?!

Disclaimer: Questions 1 and 2 do not imply, nor should one infer, that I dislike Jetglo; It's one of my favorite finishes, and was going to be the next finish I ordered my next new Rick in. . . until Ruby was reintroduced, of course.

[paologregorio]

Oh come one; everyone knows there's going to be no reissue of the 4005 "donkey's w*lly" bass, because the next hollowbody Rick bass is going to be the 4381 JV(available only in Jetglo, of course. . . . )!

[8mileshigh]

Yeah.........bring back White!

[sloop_john_b]

[xpitt]

Yeah.........bring back White!

Looks like Graham has some cream on top of every cake..

Dear John Hall, We the Rickfourm family wish for the Big dream to come back true again. In NAMM 2012, you announced that "Ruby" was coming back to a standard color. I was truly amazed by that news. John, can you make our wish come true by bringing back Azureglo,Grayglo,Lightshow,Purpleburst,Sea Foam Green and Turqouise? Can you make it a standard color?Jetglo,Fireglo,Mableglo and Midnight blue still rocks, but Rickenbacker will be praised more for having outstanding colors for our taste. please John hear our prayers. Amen.

.

I'm guessing he has heard your prayers but by his silence has chosen not to answer them Mr Hall does indeed move in mysterious ways

For Mr Hall has given and Mr Hall has taken away

[egosheep]

Yeah.........bring back White!

Graham, where did that white one come from?! Tell us about it... please!

I wish I could talk to John Hall and let him know how important is for me for he to bring back Sea Foam Green or White or....or.....or.....I don't know Rickenbacker have so many beautiful colors

As a side note, that Turquoise 850 has got to wear the crown for best looking Bigsby on a Ric.

[BAD RONBO, KiLLeR DWaRfS]

i think there's still more room to put thing on it !

[wim]

Well, i came up with an even better idea than to bring back white;
don't bring back any guitar at all, bring me back to 1955
Tadaa! everything still available

That turq 850 is sooooo gorgeous btw.

[jps]

...bring me back to 1955
Tadaa! everything still available .

No basses!
