Wouldn't that be the Rolling Rainbow Of Ricks @ RIO!

Great collection, Paul!

The Blackstar is nearly all black, with chrome bridge-pickup cover, neck-pickup bezel, bridge, mute adjustment knobs, strap knobs, and most screws.

You forgot the tuner ferrules...

Ah, yes indeed.

that blackstar makes me wet.

13 is not an unlucky number, contrary to popular belief. It's actually lucky.

Do you have your eye on #13 yet Paul?

Well, what would have been #6 has been pushed back to #13; I ordered a Blueburst 4004Cii back in December '05, and it SHOULD be the next acquisition, but you never know. Ben Hall stated recently they hope to do a run of 4004 basses in April. We'll see.

Hopefully you didn't order it from the CME, Paul!

Nope. Northcoast Music here in Milwaukee dere hey! I've bought two Ricks and one of my Höfners new from Gary and got the very best price (not considering tax) and service. I've also bought one from Wade's Guitars in Milwaukee, again great price and good service. All my others were bought on eBay or from Forum members.

my six Rics ...
I have 6 different sounding basses ... I had several more but I kept the best and sold the rest.
