A new prototype: FG/BT w/CB binding, ebony fretboard

[ilan]

RIC posted this to fb and Twitter: "A prototype finished today. General production worthy or nah?"



There's also a pinkish 4003. RIC used the hashtag #mykindoftownchicago so my guess is these will be sold by CME.

Nah on that Fireglo, if that's what they're calling it.

Double nah on the Pepto-Bismol pink.

Triple yay on the pink, but with all black hardware. Looooooong shot, I know.

I have fulfilled my quota of pink basses (1), and even if I hadn't, I would never consider it on a Ric.

However, I find the FG variant very appealing.

I could go for that....

Regarding the Pepto-Bismol pink finish, I have learned that it has a name - Metallic Plumglo - and in 2014 a small number of 4003's and 620's were made in this color for the Japanese market.

This morning on FB I saw a photo from Ernie Ball of a pink Stingray and the actual name is Pepto Pink. Hopefully a very limited edition.

The 80s are back! What's next? Spandex and big hair? Oh the humanity

Hot pink was a guy color in the 80's.

It's for aging 80s rockers with digestive issues.

I really like the fireglow, but can only imagine what it would sell for...

I need a "Like" button for this.

Well as you know Aerosmith's Dude Looks Like a Lady was written about Motley Crue's Vince Neil.

I thought it was autobiographical...
