That's correct, John!!

Yeah, I did know about that one. I hated to let mine go, but it had LOUISVILLE SLUGGER in the family line.

Hmmm, FRETLESS.........YUMMY.............Joey, don't you have a 75 FL as well?

Could you please reveal where it "comes"? I'd like to buy a plane ticket, please.

Down the nose and out the ears mostly...

Sure glad I wasn't drinking something when I read that!

Welcome to the Forum Dan!

Last I heard, "Expect to see 4004Ciis shipped (BBRs included) in mid May." so that seems to be the most recent news we've had.

You are not alone, there are quite a few of us waiting for a BBR, both here and on the company forum.

Don't forget, when it arrives....PICTURES, PICTURES & MORE PICTURES!

Again, welcome!

I'd be happier if Ben hadn't been so specific. He only said the Cheyennes were going out in mid-May.

The middle of May is fast approaching!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, thanks Scott..... I'm not alone in this boat! There are a number of us waiting for a Blueburst to arrive.

Time for an update... (just because I'm bored ) How many can possibly be left

Hmmm,

I remember this thread!

I believe Ryan Davis & Paul Boyer and myself still await our 4004Cii Bluebursts, I think there was another waiting on a 4003 BBT as well.

Anymore than that, I can't recall.

September 10 will mark the "wait of 1,000 days" for my Blueburst Cii bass. I understand RIC's business plan is to concentrate on reducing the backlog, especially the "bread & butter" models 330, 360, and 4003, but this is getting to be annoying for me. I don't NEED the bass (I've got 17 others to plunk around on, 14 of them Ricks), but I would enjoy my order receiving the attention it deserves. And it's not just because it is Blueburst; watching the "recently shipped" feature on RIC's site, I've noticed that only a dozen or so Cheyenne/Laredo basses have been shipped since that feature started (as far as I can tell). Possibly they have made more and these deliveries are not readily apparent to us, but I gotta think that more than this many have been ordered. If only a dozen or so were ordered over a three-year period, I should think the 4004 series would be in danger of discontinuation.
