Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I was about to ask if Paul had done a DCM as basic colors thread. Decided not to be a lazy bassist and do a search for it. I figgered while I'm at it.....

Bassic color #1, Mapleglo
Bassic color #2, Jetglo
Bassic color #3, Fireglo
Bassic color #4, Midnight Blue
Bassic color #5, Burgundy
Bassic color #6, Turquoise
Bassic color #7, Azureglo
Bassic color #8, Autumnglo or Walnut
My favorite #9, White
Bassic color #10, Silver
Bassic color #11, Ruby
Bassic color #12, RED
Bassic color #13, Seafoam Green
Bassic color #14, Desert Gold
Bassic color #15, Montezuma Brown
Bassic color#16, Blue Boy
Okay, maybe this is my favorite #17, Blueburst
Bassic color #18, Amber Fireglo
Bassic colors #19, Cheyenne colors
Bassic color #20, Oiled Walnut

Yeah, I thought 20 installments was going to do it, then I remembered the oiled walnut finish. Next week, DCM for installment 21. And that should do it unless RIC comes up with something new. I didn't have an installment for custom colors (such as my Mink/Berryburst) or some of the one-offs that have slipped out of the factory the last couple of years. Just kept with the official RIC colors. Thanks for the index, Scott.

I guess I'll shelve mine. I was waiting for the final week's color so there wouldn't be a need to edit the original post, which the original poster can't do.

Doesn't seem like we've been at it all that long, 20 weeks. Thanks for the legwork, Scott.

Scott, nice work. Maybe I can incorporate this list into Model Of The Week Thread?
Then it satisfies the members that want access to this list as well as satisfy the members that hate seeing too many topics sticky-ed at the top of the forum.

Joey, a suggestion: Perhaps we could have a separate reference section to include the Model of the Week, Bassic Colors, and Ted's "Anatomy" series. Work it much like the Market Place section wherein there is the sale, on-line, appraisals, and wanted subsections.

Yeah, a reference library would be nice. I'd like to see some similar info on the guitars too...

That's completely up to Peter. I was thinking that it's possible he could archive the Model of the Week, Bassic Colors, and Ted's "Anatomy" series into a special section.

Maybe toss in the 'girth thread. A one-stop reference for damn near anything you'd want to know about Ric basses.

We'd probably still get the 'what's the difference between a 4001 and 4003' thread, though.

I feel a bit defeated after trying to coordinate this for months...

Regardless, here's the work I had done. I added this past weeks just because...

• Bassic Colors No. 1 – I want my Maple(glo)!
  
• Bassic Colors No. 2 – When you're a Jet(glo) . . . !
  
• Bassic Colors No. 3 – Let me stand next to your Fire(glo)!
  
• Bassic Colors No. 4 – After Midnight (Blue)
  
• Bassic Colors No. 5 – Perhaps a Burgundy, m'dear?
  
• Bassic Colors No. 6 – Precious stone: Turquoise
  
• Bassic Colors No. 7 – Early Blues: Azureglo
  
• Bassic Colors No. 8 – Is it Autumnglo or Walnut?
  
• Bassic Colors No. 9 – Milky White and creamy Cream
  
• Bassic Colors No. 10 – Maxwell's Silver Hammer
  
• Bassic Colors No. 11 – Do the name Ruby . . .

• Bassic Colors No. 13 – Sea Green, the first COY!
  
• Bassic Colors No. 14 – Desert Gold
  
• Bassic Colors No. 15 – the full "Monte"

Sorry, didn't mean to step on any toes. At least you went thru the effort to pic them.

No one should feel defeated. No one is stepping on anyone else's toes. A cool effort on the part of both of you.
Great Scott's think alike.

I'll just rehash the list again here since it seems a bit odd to have them spread out over a few posts. Joey, feel free to delete either the other post or whatever it takes to clean it up.

No toes stepped on. Just one of those weeks, I guess.

My lithium tablets are in now and I should be right as rain.
