I sure hope it's re-assembled by the end of the week, Bryce!

probably a long shot John, but we'll see.

does anyone know when white was introduced as a finish?

According to Mike Parks' finish timeline (http://the-music-connection.com/ricinfo.htm#fin),
white was available in 1957 and 1969 - 1999

Glad you like the white/BT Jerry, it was a beautiful bass. Unfortunately I sold it last year to help finance my 4004 obsession and will be having one of those refinned to bright white as a replacement. Here's some more pics from the auction....

I think the earliest White i've seen is '73 or so. Anybody seen an earlier one?

Thanks for the other views, Mark. I'm really more guitar guy than bass player, but if I'd seen that one for sale, I think I would have gone for it. (Of course, with approval from "Sr. management")

That white/black trim 4003 is clean. Very nice.

I've seen a picture of a '71 and possibly a '70..

That "whiter than white" needs white knobs!

I wonder what the next color will be ...

Nice sound, but well worn frets (only another max. 5 years life), then a refret would have the chance of a change to black neck binding.

I couldn't resist getting in on this thread again!

To some of you this will be a very familiar picture. Here is Miss February 2007, my 1994 615.

Glad to see you come up for air, Melibee. Hope things are going better.
