Rickenbacker Basses / Re: Here we go again: Color of the Year 2014 teaser from RIC
« on: September 22, 2013, 01:07:35 AM »They should have made them 4003Ss. They are special anyway and would look way better without the binding.
They have already done a limited edition C64 in white.

Fender Basses / Re: Fender to finally make the Starcaster bass and reissue the Coronado?

The "reissue" designation is a bit misleading here. The Coro RI just shares some visual features with the old Coro's, but they are irrelevant to the sound or playability, like f-hole and headstock shape or fretboard binding and inlays. With its different construction, different pickups and hardware, it's a new model.
With the Starcaster, similarity to the 2-3 prototypes is really unimportant; not many know how those sounded or played.

I like the solid colors better than the bursts. Olympic White could be awesome.

Same one.
I haven't noticed until you pointed it out that he has so many rare Rics on eBay. That is some impressive collection he's selling.

Here is one of the 2 original prototype Starcaster basses in action (closeups at 2:13 and 3:00)

The thing that bothers me is that it's a 2-years old bass wearing a '67 serial number. It should have been equipped with a 2011 plate. I would have asked RIC to supply a custom plate numbered 11 1967.

This is what Paul Wilczynski posted to the RRF on Apr. 2011: "here are some detailed photos of the double-bound Fireglo 4005/8 I scratchbuilt for Graham Griffiths, per his order and with permission from John Hall. Graham had sent a 4005 to me to restore, which was too far gone to do anything with (butchered body, short-scale, neck, wrong fretboard, etc.). With JH's permission, I re-used most of the hardware and wiring from the donor 4005, including the TRC and all-important jackplate with its serial number."
The tailpiece looks like a 12-string guitar part, skipping the A and B string slots.

RIC made them pull the listing. It's on their website now for the same price.

« on: August 31, 2013, 12:47:44 AM »What's up with that? Is this some officially sanctioned copy?He's working closely with RIC and was commissioned to build the acoustics for them and slap a real Rickenbacker TRC on the headstock, so he's become sort of like a RIC custom shop. He uses genuine RIC parts for his builds that I assume he gets from the factory, and the methods and materials RIC uses. So I wouldn't call it a copy, he will not build something that John Hall would not approve (or know of).
