What is UP with the pictures? Godzilla, OK, I get it, but come ON!
There is another Midnight Blue that has been sitting on Ebay for 4 days with a BIN under $900. In these days of Ric madness, I thought that would be gone in a heartbeat!

Haha, those pictures are funny--I guess some people will do anything to try to entice buyers, although I would find it hard to take this seller seriously! BTW, that's NOT blueburst, it's Midnight Blue....Cool color, but Blueburst is the ultra-rare holy grail of Ric colors!

I have to agree with you Melissa, I love the blueburst copy that was recently up and would love to have a 4003 in that color! AzureGlo is my fave, but a burst would be killer!

Such flowerly language in the description, too, like the blue from Hawaii, the most heavenly tones in the entire kingdom, etc. etc. I just wanna know how long he left it laying out on his deck in the plants. Will I need to fertilize it? And is there any neck repair from where it appears that Godzilla himself bit thru it?

"I love the blueburst copy that was recently up"

Soooo cool! I am curious, does it really have "THE" sound? When is RIC going to make Blueburst the Color of the Year? <sigh....> A girl can dream, right?

I wish the finish of the year for 2005 would be Quilt Maple Blueburst.

A boy can dream too, right?

I got one for you all, how about a " Rickenbacker Forum limited edition bass"? Do you think we could all colaborate together and design the ultimate Rickenbacker bass?

....And a "Rickenbacker Forum Limited Edition" guitar, too! Quilt Maple Blueburst.... Absolutely. I think we're on the same page, Paul!

the ultimate Ric Forum designed bass

a 4002 blueburst, 5 string, black trim, sergio's pickups, full width inlays, checkered binding, walnut headwings,

Full width inlays, toaster, horseshoe, checker bound body, headstock and neck. Maybe no pickgaurd to hide the highly quilted maple. Hipshot A Style bridge and Ultralite tuners (customer's choice of Cloverleaf or Y key style). Perhaps this could be a cross between a 4004Cii and a '64 4001?

Hmm. For a Forum Edition...

I'm for:
- BlueBurst
- Quilted Maple
- Checkered Binding
- Full width inlays
- Silk-screened TRC
- Reissue horse-shoe
- Vintage knobs (not oven)
- Toaster neck pickup in vintage position
- Pickguard

Don't mind, yet don't require:
- Ric-O-Sound
- Vintage squared heel
- Lucite finger rest

Being that we're about 50/50 on the issue, a treble cap. switch may be in order.

Don't want:
- An extra string - What can you possibly do with that thing, anyway?
