Just Do it!!!!!

Post by rickenbottom »

So today call my local guitar store here in Ontario and find out a 2012 4003 Fireglo came into their Calgary store yesterday. Just opened out of the box today. Hummed and hawed then damn it I bought it. 3-5 days it will be here in my hands. Well this will be a nice addition to my 2011 4003 Jetglo :lol:

Considering how infrequently Rickenbacker basses come to retailers in Ontario and Calgary, I think you did the right thing. You did good to find that one. Is this the L&M store we're talking about?

Brian thnx. I see quite a few on Kijiji also and the 75th in Ottawa absolutely gorgeous but can't afford that at this time. Some of the others however, questionable about their price.

Congratulations!

I saw a new one today - probably the best looking FG finish I've seen in person.
