Im not a fan of LEDs anyway.

Speaking of Musicman ... here's a prototype that the same designer tried to get Rickenbacker to build

A friend of mine in Holland has one, reports it to have a good tone, and nice low action.

Personally I'd stand the builder against a wall and stone him !!!

Jeff ... site looks really good !!!

Wonder why RIC lets them do that.

I never understood LEDs on the fingerboard, on the side would make sense tho', especially on a RIC, those tiny dots are useless on a dark stage.

We don't. The auction's marked for deletion but the Germans always seem to take awhile to get the job done.

I wasn't referring to the auction, I was talking about the bass manufacturer.

OK.

We don't. The issue's been sent to counsel but the Germans always seem to take awhile to get the job done.
