New 2012 4003 Mapleglo

Post by JWR »

This is my new 2012 Rickenbacker 4003 in Mapleglo. It's a lighter maple that I found myself unable to resist. Beautiful neck wood, Made in America, by Americans, with American factory warranty.

Congrats on the new bass! I just picked up a 2010 JG a few months ago. The new basses RIC are producing are really nice.

Nice mapleglo. I prefer the "wider" grain pattern like this one has.

Pick of the Ricks has a nice used flamey one if anyones looking.

Awesome vibe on that maple. Ric's current output is really drool worthy.

Thinking about liquidating the rest of my herd to get another Rick in that finish.
