Blue Boy on Ebay?

Post by lowendbob »

I thought BlueBoy was extremely light blue finish, almost white?

Midnight Blue is metalic where Azureglo is is an opaque blue.

Blue Boy wasn't for me either, but I took my burgundy 360 to have the toasters replaced with hi-gains & Mike Smith at RicsRUs had a blue boy 620. I absolutely fell in love with it. I am a thinline Ric fan, but this was the prettiest guitar I have EVER seen & we did a deal on it there & then. My thinlines will still be my main gtrs, but this 620 is beautiful & sounds great too. My band ribbed me about it being a girly colour (no offence) but I don't care, 'cause I've got it & they haven't!
Sorry, I know this is the bass section, but blue boy is blue boy....
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.
