Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

OK, I was looking through my pictures and came across a bass described as "Whiskeyglo," I see that it's not on the list of one-offs. Anyone remember this one? What was the story on it, was it a one-off? I can't remember, and searching the forum for Whiskeyglo doesn't seem to turn anything up...

I was also curious about this, and if I may add, what about the purleglo 360?

I'm just taking a shot in the dark but that looks to me like an autumnglo but without a front burst.....

I also heard of a 4001 that was constructed of clear/plexi glass like the dan armstrong basses. Now that sounds pretty cool!

I don't recall the "Whiskeyglo" bass.

There were RIC one-offs around before the RIC Factory Outlet began selling them on ebay. The ones we are "officially" keeping track of on the Register are the RIC Factory Outlet ones. We have tried to keep up to date with those.

There are also, of course, the PW Refins, which is now a separate category in the Register. I think the purple one recently on ebay would fall into that category.

They are on the facebook page, luckily my friend, Steven lets me log onto his facebook to view the Ricks so thats how I found out about it.

I seem to recall this one as being sold by the factory and not a refin, but it could have been before the Outlet. Mostly, I'm just trying to remember what it was all about.

Of course, the one listed as "B-1", the Honeyglo, was sold in April of 2007 (it's listed in the One-Off list as 4-08, not 4-07), which was before the Ebay Ric-Outlet opened in May of 2007 (or at least that's when it was announced)...

But then again, my memory is FAR worse than my computer's, so I may be completely out of touch with reality on this...

Mystery solved. It WAS a refin. Never mind...

For the record, the B-1 "Honeyglo" 4003 one-off was sold in April of 2008: http://www.rickresource.com/register/vi ... p?id=16330

That one is not in chronological order on the list. The first instrument on the RIC Factory One-Off list was sold in December 2007.

OK, I stand corrected. I had it written down wrong, my mistake...

Am I the first to used the term "whiskyglo"?

Wow, replying to a thread nearly 8 years old, did you just wake up from too much "Whiskeyglo"???

Pretty funny though...

Touche'

Why couldn't they have called it "Whiskey-a-glo-glo"?

Must be a trend. I just said basically the same thing to a thread that someone just posted on from over 8 years ago!
