SnowGlo. I installed a black pickguardian pick guard and made my own TRC.

I wonder where the OP lives. IIRC only 15 SnowGlow 4003 basses were made available in the U.S., but more were made available abroad (Germany?).

I would appreciate it if you'd tell me how you've made it on your own. :roll:

To make the TRC, I got a piece of black acrylic like this one and cut and shaped it like the stock TRC. I went to a local shopping mall and had a white Rickenbacker decal made.

I would vote for the snowglo but that's because I have one that I bought from new. It's a beauty. Also, I've just seen it on the register site but I didn't put it there, how is that allowed??

So on Thursday I'm going to make a prepayment for the Snowglo. Is there anything I should have a look at before deciding if I want to buy it?

It was just a rolling kiosk in the mall - not really a store. The type of place that makes "In loving memory..." decals that you see on cars.

I failed to mention that I also made a decal for the back that reads something like "Not a genuine Rickenbacker TRC - made by me."
