Here we go again: Color of the Year 2014 teaser from RIC
« on: August 10, 2013, 06:52:27 AM »
So RIC posted this photo on their Facebook page and added that "the color is not on it yet." And the guessing game begins.

Do Rick fans REALLY have so little to do with their time that they get into this???????   :P

OK, then I get to vote.

Olympic White with tort.

Or is that the answer to a different question?

With no new models, just two left now in production, and no options other than the five stock colors, COY is all we are left to toy with now.

Actually, white would be pretty cool......hasn't been offered on a production bass in over 20 years or so.

To avoid being hypocritical, wouldn't Rickenbacker have to invent a brand new color that's never been used before on a guitar or bass by any other company?   Would suck for them to copy someone else :-)

Puke Chunk Orange. It would go nicely with Montezuma Brown (Montezuma's Revenge).  ;D

John Hall posting in the RIC corporate forum: "Now coming through production and ready for immediate shipment. Only 15 SnowGlo basses produced for domestic sale. Contact your authorized Rickenbacker dealer for information."

Stunning, IMHO.

It is stunning. I wonder how many will be shipped to Japan.

I'll bet you could buy a slightly used Ric, and have it re-finished in white for less than these will go for.  :P

Good looking bass. Love white, especially on a Ric.
