Officially on order

Well, I've now got a Blue Burst 4004 Cheyenne on order. I tossed and turned with the prospect for some months, and like my decision to get a Monte 4003, I let it go to the last possible week. But my order is confirmed, and now all I have to do is wait. It might take a year or more, but it's not like I don't have any instruments to play. I've got a feeling that whatever RIC has up their sleeves for the 75th anniversary emblem/trim/color or whatever will also be something I'll want, and I hope whatever it is can be a feature on my Cheyenne.

Great choice Paul - I think the Blueburst finish is going to look great with the gold hardware!

I'm still on the C64FG waiting list. I know I'm running this into the ground, but since so many are going out, right around Christmas time, it's making me antsy. But since some people here waited two years or longer for theirs to arrive, I guess I can wait a while more.

Didn't someone say that the Blueburst finish was made specifically with 4004's in mind?

Bobcat, I remember Ben saying something to that effect.

Robert, I can't find Ben's exact quote but, I think it was more on the lines of that the finish and the bass were made for each other, meaing it's a perfect fit. Not that the finish was specifically designed for it.

Ben's exact quote (
link):
So you know, 4004Cii's were made for Blueburst.
Forget any other color on that model...

I'd like to see a 4004cii in Blueburst next to one in trans blue.
