Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I was curious if it belongs to a forum member, or if anyone knows anything about it? Its different. I like its appearance.

Interesting - hard to tell if it's white, or a BlueBoy. Cool look to it.

I love gold pick guards on the right color bass. That kinda looks blueboy-ish. Very nice, whatever the color.

On my IMac it looks grayish white. It may be in the lighting shadow.
I used to have a Mike Lull Thunderbird that I ordered as Oly white, and it too, had a grayish/green cast about it.

IIRC this was a 4001C64 refinished in a Blue Boy-like color that some dealer was trying to pass off as a "Rick custom shop" bass. That idea was shot down and the bass pulled from the dealer's website. Not a RIC dealer, btw.

I remember that as well -- I think this was discussed on RRF a few months back.

IIRC, someone wrote inside the body cavity "BB Custom".

And IIARC, it's in the Register as being "BUTCHERED IN NJ".

Interesting tale.
I was surfing Rickenbacker basses in google images and this was one of the instruments that was on the page. Perhaps, its a shot from the Ebay ad mentioned.
