2014 Color of the Year is...

[DriftSpace]

Or a nice "HamGlo".

It's so Rickenbackery ... and yet there's a smack of ham to it!

[cjj]

So, they got us going again?

I wonder if they actually have a color in mind or if they're just enjoying everyone's speculations on what it could be...

There was a really nice blue and jetgo burst I remember seeing a while back. I'm not sure if it was a factory one off or one of Paul's or something, but I remember thinking it was pretty remarkable. I think it was on a bass.

Is this the one you are thinking of: http://www.rickresource.com/register/vi ... p?id=16332

Well, the folks at RIC certainly know how to pull our chains/rattle our cages!

Neon pink would be fine by me...

Yep, that's the one! My preference is mapleglo, & maybe sometimes the right fireglo, but I remember really liking that finish.

My thought too, Wim.

Yes, but that was also before the new UV-cured finishing process which, IIRC, is supposed to be pretty resistant to fading and yellowing. That doesn't mean it's not still a "nightmare" to do finishes in that color, but the warranty concerns should no longer apply.

Yeah, the more I think about it: I'll bet it's white. Just because it's a "nightmare to do" doesn't mean it's not one of his favorite colors after it's on the instrument.

White on white is the classiest Ric color in my opinion, ask Andy Winter, he knows. I would love to get one and would spring for a new one with with white trim in a second.
Incidentally I don't know how many of you were here in 2003 when I first joined but I was living in Lima, Peru for a while and spent hours on this forum, well I'm back again for a while and just had to post again from here in an internet café. I brought my 79 mapleglo 4001 although I haven't logged much playing time with any bands yet, but I got a new loro named Carmelita, Humberto flew away, haha!

Glad to have you back, Bob. To the RRF.

Still miss the old Ampeg forum?? I didn't think so.

I guessed ChartreuseGlo...

I would like "Kermit the Frog Glo"....

[kiramdear]

Still rooting for "Bumbleglo".

That would be good - if your strap breaks, remember, Bumbles bounce.
