Just why would the RIC site's posted example keep changing colors like that?

"BRP"... hmmm... could the "P" possibly stand for "prismatic"?

I mean, other manufacturers have already used that type of paint that changes colors depending on the angle of the light source.

Ewww - Jaymi how anyone could deface a Ric in such a way is beyond me! (I am being light hearted) but it would leave me feeling empty if Ric did use the Union Jack...it's just a strong dislike I have for the flag...*rant over*

BRP - hmm, the mind boggles, when will we find out?

"Just why would the RIC site's posted example keep changing colors like that?"

because it is more interesting than a shilouette of a rickenbacker. i honestly dont think it would be a color changing color. IMO its tacky

I'd like to see a Rick in a trans teal or teal burst.
Just my own humble opinion, I think many basses look cool in those finishes.
I didn't like the Turquiose finish until I finally got to see it in person at a NAMM show a few years ago.

...In fact, since this happened to my 4004/5Cii in transit:

...it just might become a translucent teal or possibly a translucent black.

Joey, if it came from RIC in that condition, can't you get it fixed under the warranty?
I know you have been waiting forever for it and don't wanna give it up, butI would think if that's how you got it from them, they would make it right.
