Model of the Week 27: The NEW Rickenbacker bass . . .

[spongebob]

As a Ric fan who loves the 4004, I'd love to see an all-new Ric.

I think that as a company, they have to move on to keep relevant, rather than keep re-hashing the past.

Not saying that this is the way to go, just my 2p's worth to the debate.

Rehashing the past has gotten them one hell of a backlog. Kinda like harley, the new models are like the old models, just with modern technology improvements.

I like the yellowing. If I had the moola and a new MG anything, I'd have it done.

Regarding new models: yes, it's good to progress, improve and perhaps create a new market for your products, hope RIC will create a buzz outside our little community with something new. Though I'm most likely to buy multiple V68's or whatever!

Saw a new Camaro at the airport the other day, being shipped to Japan. While there were a couple of vague hints of a classic Camaro, it looked too big and bloated, and could have blended in with, say a new Dodge Challenger or Charger. To me, not a good example of improving on a theme.

I was just saying the same exact thing to my business partner Friday while perusing the new Consumer Reports Car Guide.
