(I can supply pictures of three generations 5stringers in 1 picture. )

My RIC Fiver family,

[berth]

I knew you would answer.

Here are mine:



Are we the only ones who have all generations?

Here are mine:

SWEET!

Are we the only ones who have all generations?

Maybe.

Really like the middle one. Is that transgreen I'm seeing?

[jdogric12]

Really like the middle one. Is that transgreen I'm seeing?

Yeah - very curious about that. That's a factory 4004Cii/5 I assume? Looks like a translucent black, but surely it must be green.

[teeder]

Looks awesome!

I really should get a 4004 of some flavor one of these days.

Looks green to me, the image is just a bit dark, overall.

Hmm, looks kinda blueish, too when enlightened some.

Yes!

Yes!

Mine has the known issue some off the 13 4004CII/5 basses can have unfortunately. B and G have lots less volume than the middle three strings. Still someone must have played the heck out of it as it is in need of a refret.

In following picture made by the previous owner you can see the color better:

I remember a Rickenbacker catalogue or something (??) like that self-publisched/printed by Lulu. Isn't that an idea?

I meant this publication which a lot of you might have

[byu]

Paul,
Perhaps you could create an addendum to Vol. 2 with the updated models and features and sell it as a downloadable PDF.

[bassduke49]

Yeah, that's possible. I'm not interested in "selling" it though - I'm not in it to make money and don't want to be bothered with the having to do "business" or pay/avoid taxes or anything like that. In any situation, I'd have to get in the mood to do it, and I'm not "there" at this point. Yet.

... Hmm, looks kinda blueish, too when enlightened some. ...

So what color does it become if it achieves nirvana?

Here's another 5-er:

4003S/5 SPC Blackstar

[teeder]

Sweet!

[bassduke49]

Sweet and mighty rare!

Something like this, perhaps?
