Ok, im was wondering how many of us here have a Burgundy finished bass - the best finish IMHO.
MIne is one of the 2002 color of the year ones, has anyone else got one of these??? i dont recall anyone here having one (could be wrong tho)
Heres mine, the neck pickup is one of Sergio's:

i had a 73 burgandyglo identical to mark's on loan for most of last year. unfortunately it's back with it's rightful owner now. the worst thing was i was offered it about 5 years ago for £450 and turned it down. doh!

I have a March 74 4001 in burgundyglo. A classy colour, I think! The binding has yellowed, but the scratchplate remains white.

I do like burg and I've been looking around but without success. There has been one on Ebay Canada a couple of times; first time I bid on it but it got yanked off by the Ebay Trust Dept (so I guess the clues are there!). Came up again under a (n allegedly) different vendor over the w/e then just as mysteriously vanished again. Shame, it looked in good nick

My one looks great i think, tho i must say that it had the worst set up i have ever seen on a new rick, The nut was sky high and the saddles very badly cut.
Its a good player now tho!

Actually, that Canadian Burg is still on -

But I must confess to misgivings. If it was pulled the first time, what's changed?

My first Ric was a '78 4001 BG, I miss it a lot.
Burgundy is my favorite Ric finish, I wish it was still around. Ah well...

Owen,
No you are not the only one who has a 4003 year 2002 in Burgundy colour !!!! I simply love mine and probably the only one in Canada who has one from that year.

Mine is a '75 4001 burgundy, yellowed binding and still white scratchplate.
