THAT'S IT! The answer to the OP's prayer is white.
White light is a mixture of all colours. So with a white rick you have every colour at the same time. :lol:
That's correct if you're referring to how a tube TV functions. Colors generated by light are different than colors generated by pigments and dyes. White Ricks have white light? I thought it was paint! Black paint absorbs all the light, so it's with JETGLO that you have all the colors. White kicks them all out. :mrgreen:
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

You really want to get crazy about color theory, I can refer you to another site.
Color is a psycho-emotional phenomenon. I didn't make that up. That is a fact.

Only custom stuff I want to see is Aluminium tailpieces!
I still think a new aluminium version very much like the original that could be retro fitted to even a 60s bass as well as all modern Ricks
would be snapped up like hot cakes.

You want white?

hahaha that was the intent. Of course I don't pray to Mr. Hall, that would be ridiculous
...Now praying to an invisible deity who lives up in the sky to re-issue the 4005, that's not creepy right?

I believe The Good Book says in the beginning He made it out of one of Adam's ribs.
Some "scientists" say it was originally built in a factory in Santa Ana, but let me remind you that is just a theory...
