Right on, Bob! So you must have been number 2 and I was 3rd on the list. I think Chris was number 1.
I was told to be calling around to see which dealer ordered so you can snatch one up.
Has anyone tried Bass Northwest? Or Chicago Music Exchange? CME said they had some available but I passed since I got one from Sam Ash.

Rhoads Music lists all three guitars still available for purchase. I believe the prices are not discounted.

Don't think so Jared. Music123 doesn't carry Rickenbacker, Musicians Friend told me they were not on order...but you never know....

Edgar- I'm going to call CME today and e-mailed Rhoads Music, who does list the basses. Jim Rhoads is usually very good with his prices. I didn't see prices listed on his site.

So far from this thread I counted 9 members that where lucky enough to get the 75th bass.
Anyone else?
Good luck to all!

Besides the local guy who got me my 4003, I had gotten my name on lists with 3 other dealers nationwide.
Since I have not heard back from any of them, I probably did not get anything ordered. In case I do hear from any though, I will let you guys know, and hopefully one of you can grab it.
It's funny how aggressive some of these guys are, or are not. My dealer was so good at following up with me, contacting Rick and having everything in place when Friday came. Most others were pretty lazy about the whole thing. Almost all of the others were alot bigger though so I guess they didn't have to care as much.
Alot of times, when I made these random calls to Ric dealers all over the place, it was just kids I was talking to, who had no idea about making sure they could put all of the pieces in place to secure a deal.
Service rules, and my guy really earned alot of respect from me. Definately a guy that fully understands the process. I really appreciate that.
