Huh? How many bass players????

Hmmm ... if each player owned one bass, RIC would have had to make about 2800 basses a day to provide that many in 49 years of production ...

No wonder why they are 12-18 months behind!

If you take into account their Asian production and what they make south of the border.... No wait, that's that other company. Nevermind.

Maybe it's all those Chinese ebay auctions that are supplying the other 40 something million players (all in China of course, & all providing each other with positive feedback).

I do not remember where I got this but it is in my signature on another site

Rickenbacker Jet Glo Bass.

The Classic Rickenbacker bass - famous for its ringing sustain, treble punch and solid underlying bass. 50,001 Ric bass players can't be wrong!

2.8 basses a day (1/1000 of the other quote) I could rationalize.

There's gotta be more than 50,000 of us!

I think JH said it was more like 20 per day (could be wrong)!
