Kind of a Ric thing. Looks interesting but the pick guard just isn't quite right. Still, at first glance, I like it.

I like it, but agree on the pickguard. It's almost as ugly as the Marcus Miller one. It looks like Waterstone grabbed a leftover, and just slapped it on the bass.

+1 pG s too big and crappy looking. Major neck diver......

Cool, but they ruined it with that pickguard.

Am I the only one who read the title of this thread and flashed the words "Yellowstone Kelly"?
Clint Walker ruled.

I had forgotten that movie. If someone comes out with a Cheyenne Bodie bass, I'll think of Clint.

You and me Dave, children of the 50's.
Wait....would that be a Bodie-body-bass?

I would prefer a rear rout on that.Big beige tear drop does nothing :rolleyes:

I had an early 4004 Cheyenne. I sold my Clint Walker bass. D'oh!
Whenever he's mentioned, it reminds me of that horrible ski accident he had where the ski pole pierced his heart. Amazing that he survived that.

Isn't that the one with Ed (Kookie) Byrnes, from the TV series 77 Sunset Strip, as the costar. Kookie , if memory serves me correctly, was often referred to as being the "ginchiest". Good Lord, we're a bunch of old farts :o ;D.

IMDB says you're right about Edd being in Yellowstone Kelly.
Kookie told Connie Stevens she was the ginchiest in their famous duet. I don't remember him ever saying it otherwise. Just made up hipster talk from about 50 years ago.
I thought this was awful back then, it's even worse looking back now.

I'll bet parents thought he was a scandal back then - with that jacket and the body language, he looked like a JD.
Remember "JD"? Haven't heard that term in years.
-
the thing i remember about Kookie was the Grabowski T bucket:

I don't know, Kookie was more a sanitized-for-TV hipster than a rebel. My dad loved the show and the characters like Kookie and Roscoe.

Somewhere I believe I still have a 45 of "Kookie Lend Me Your Comb". The Flip side was a "hip" Christmas song , something like "Have a COOL Yule". My older sister was one of those who thought Kookie was the ginchiest :-[.

So did mine! Even the music was cool on 77 Sunset Strip.

Geez, Efrem Zimbalist is 92 now.

Oh my, my late mother loved that series! :) It epitomized America to her back then.

On the original subject - to quote Rickenbacker CEO John Hall on the RRF:
"You'll find that these have been withdrawn from the market."

I'm not surprised.
The cresting wave upper body design and the headstock shape probably doomed it.
