LoL,

I'm waiting on a Blueburst 4004Cii Larry.

It was a Color of the Year for 2005.

The blueburst (a pic was posted earlier)- Gorgeous.
Way too cool for the room.
Hope it's out for delivery to you as we "speak".

I still have it!
Did you take that pic of it at the RIC 75th anniv?

Yes sir! Shot it out the back of the display room at the 75th. Looking forward to my BBR Cii which (I trust) will be shipped this week, maybe. As it is, I'll have to wait until the 21st as Gary at North Coast is vacationing in Arkansas. Anyway, that will give the shipment time to acclimate at his office. It'll be a high of 0 on Thursday around here. REALLY looking forward to SERF!

I'm curious- how long have you guys been waiting for those Cii's?

1,124 days for the Blueburst Cii, but whose counting?

WOW!

My hat is off to you guys- even tho I'm not even wearing one- It's 80 degrees here in SoCal!

That is amazing on so many levels!

But I'll tell you- If my Laredo "Disappeared" (PLEASE! NO!)-

I too would wait for another one.

Blows me away-OVER 3 years. Wow.

Here's one of me playing it:


I hope all you guys get yours soon!

I see you have fine taste in Amplification as well--
It's a proven concept of physics-
Rickenbacker + Ampeg =
BLissful Tone squared-

Sorry Larry, that's not my amp. My main rig is SWR.

Just to stir the pot a little, Classic Axe is getting four (4) Cheyennes; a BBR, a MG, a Trans Red and a Trans Green. They should all be in the store by the end of the week if not sooner. The BBR came in first thing this morning and according to my wife, it looks great.

As far as I know, all 4 basses are up for grabs with no one claiming any of them. Happy hunting...

Sorry Larry, that's not my amp. My main rig is SWR.

Well, I figured there was a GOOD chance that 'Fridge was backline-
So let us recalculate----

RIckenbacker + SWR (or most decent rigs!!) = Tonal Bliss CUBED!

Yeah, but that SHIRT HAS TO GO!

Yeah, the shirt...
I'm NEW here, I wasn't gonna say anything, but as long as....

Oh, do you think someone here might post in and try and talk me out of even simply thinking about that FireGlo Cii or that BlueBurst Laredo??
What stunning instruments, but....

I just got my MG LAredo and, it's supreme! WHY would I even think about spending the dough on one (or both) of those!

C'mon! Intervene!
Anybody....?

LoL, WELCOME to the world of Rickenbacker addiction!

Don't look to me to talk you out of it!

GO FOR IT!



One is NEVER, EVER enough!

EVEN if you buy another and sell the first, the addiction has begun.

Sorry to give you the bad news.
