Hi guys,

Back after many years of absence (and playing other basses, but alas have returned to the original and best!!)

I've got a very special Rickenbacker bass in the pipeline which I shall present here in its glory very soon.

Back to the topic, a quick question - do solid colour basses such as ruby red, midnight blue et al come with walnut headwings as per the FG and MG models?

Cheers guys! Great to be back.

All solid color RIC basses come with walnut wings.

That was a short live period from a few years ago. IIRC, the "roasted" maple was extremely difficult on the tools.
