Evidently Wildwood got a couple.

My guess is that the "long time" RIC dealers get first dibs on these. Maybe POTR or Dave's Guitar Shop have received some.

I love snowglo
However, the more I look at the new fretboard wood the less I like its brown colour....the old rosewood was one of the peculiarities of Rickenbacker, too bad it is not used anymore

A darker board would certainly compliment the brightness of these basses better I think, but as Fran points out, they do seem to be a more generic lighter grain these days.
