It's now getting pretty late on Friday. Are these four BBRs all that came out of the batch? Oh no!!!

RIC will ship no bass before it's time. My guess is they made more than a handful.... just because of the disruption of regular production making only a few would cause.

Anyone else get the call?

ANYONE?

HELLO?

I feel your pain Tony. I had a jetglo Laredo on order in Oct. 2006 and was told it would be about 18 months. After about 8 months a jetglo 4004 showed up on ebay and I jumped on it but that 8 months felt like an eternity. I think I would still be waiting if I hadn't lucked out with ebay. There's a midnight blue Laredo on ebay right now, wouldn't it be nice to have a Laredo to go along with that Blueburst Cii?

Nothing yet Tony, but I have my fingers crossed!

Nuthin' for me yet, either. I was expecting a call from North Coast by now, but . . . .

Still waiting on my Blueburst Cheyenne. 895 days and counting . . . .

My count is well into four figures for my 4004L BBR.

OH man, I didn't see THAT one! Thank's for pointing it out Marc! You're right, THAT would make a nice addition to the Cii, and I like the pickup placement on it too! It would make a NICE FRETLESS!

But, I'm down to a VERY FEW "must have or would LIKE to have" RIC's now....those being a MID 70's 4001FL (HI JOEY ) a late 70's "S" with a set neck, possibly a 4002 (yeah, I know... I hear the laughing) and possibly a 5002. I'm really falling in love with my 4003FL, and as strange as it sounds, most of my fretted RIC's are only getting about 20% of the play time.

I apologize about my whining about the wait, especially when I hear you guys with those killer wait times. I think I'm feeling this one more than the others is because my little "collection" is almost complete, and the numbers are winding down. I don't have too many new ones to look forward to. THIS one is most likely my last NEW RIC for a long time unless RIC offers some new model or a fretless COY.

Of course, if I could learn to play guitar.....

You know how to contact me, Buddy!

Good luck and hang in there, Tony!
