I picked up a 5 string from Jeff and I love it. How do I go about ordering a new 5 string? Is it possible? I don't even look at my other basses anymore but I really need a backup.
I am hoping for a new one, but any port in a storm, so they say. Any thoughts or ideas or places to order a new one would be appreciated.

www.pickofthericks.com
or:
www.the-music-connection.com
try these two for starters. If they have something you like, go that route. Otherwise, check RICs site at
www.rickenbacker.com for dealer info in your area. That is what I'd do, anyway.

The problem right now is that no five-strings are being made. RIC dropped the 4003s5 some years ago in favor of making a five-string Cheyenne (4004Cii5), but production has hit a snag or two. Currently, RIC is redesigning the pickups for greater span and other improvements. So you can order one, but you'll have to get in line.

Well I just bought a 4004Cii/5 Blueburst. Now I just have to wait a year or so to get it.
