and you thought the color of the year thing was bad!

I can't wait - well I'll put frequent flyer miles to good use flying out to John Wayne Int’l

Joey,
Great idea on a "global confluence". I think it will add icing on the cake for RIC's 75th anniversary celebration very nicely if the confluence takes place at the Mecca---RIC factory! I'll fly then.

Mr. Hall,
I'm looking forward to the "plan" being carried out.

Thanks Paul, I hope to see you there, with plenty of our Rickenrothers!

I'm sure that would be one great celebration.

I for one would really enjoy meeting John, then we can debate digital vs. film photography! Something to keep his mind off the throngs of disciples!

Good idea and very thoughtful of you, Jeff!

I'll definitely bring along my very analog RIC camera to photograph everyone's babies!

There will be thong-wearing disciples?

All the more reason for JH to beef up security,

Better start saving cash, I can only imagine what a 75th anniversary bass may be. Let alone the trip to the west coast.

We would have never guessed that, Jim!

It'd be a travesty if Ric didn't produce at least *something* for their 75th.

I'd like a White on White 4003, Gold hardware - with the "RIC 75" emblem on the pickguard.

Man, that would be nice...

Well I'd like a 4001 CS but half the size to look like Chris Squire when I play it

I'd actually like to see a 75th Anniversary edition in the manner of the Tuxedos: 360/6, 360/12, and 4003 represented - but then one would just have to have one of each model ...
