4004 Cii BBR. Has anybody seen anything different than April on a projected build? Of course, does that mean finished in April or started in April?
Either way, progress being made is a great thing!
I would have thought all the 4003s would have been made by now with all the AFGs that have gone out. Production is hard to predict!

Ok, cool!
I'm not alone.
Appears to mostly be 4004's huh?
I haven't heard anything new, April is the last I heard myself.
Gotta dig up the balance on that bad boy!

Okay, it's April on the east coast now. I wonder if the 4004s will start shipping today

Looks like a few BBR Cheyennes have gone out according to the RIC site.
Hey, it's April Fool's day on the east coast too!

Hmm. Those are the ones that were NAMM models and they went out after the show. You don't suppose they were just FOOLing us with the mention of APRIL, do you? Hmm.

Last year, let us not forget, the 4005AF model RIC had on the NEWS section?

Did everyone see the post by Ben in (one of) the Full Width Inlays thread?
"Expect to see 4004Ciis shipped (BBRs included) in mid May."
I hope this means a large number of them will go out. There is hope!!

Thanks Ryan for the post!
I missed that one!
I can't wait. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
Nice!

I missed it, too, multiple times, until I saw a reference on the Rickenbacker forums. I completely missed the second line. It's good to know (well, not for my bank account) that all 4003s are being shipped with Walnut Wings and full inlays, too.
I also didn't see John B's tiny print up above about April Fools until this morning. Man, I'm getting old.

Well,
I just called my dealer and made my final installment payment on the 4004Cii Blueburst, JUST IN CASE!
Sometime back around December, someone from RIC said they were scheduled in April so, we're right on schedule.
After this bad boy arrives, it will be the first time since 2005, I'm not waiting on a RIC order.
I REALLY would like another RIC fretless, MAN I LOVE MY PLAYING MY 4003FL!
Since it arrived, my fretted RIC's are getting some much needed down time.
