Here we go again: Color of the Year 2014 teaser from RIC

I'll be darned. Here I tried to speak Fender-style heresy (Olympic White) and they went and did it.

Mebbe I better buy some lottery tickets.

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

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

Once my band breaks up, now in our 21st year, I'll have my lefty 4001S refinned in white.

And one day I'm going to do just that, but mine will have either double binding (pinstripe) or checkerboard, sort of a "White Shadow". And a RIHS, and toaster at 1/2" spacing.

I just want them to bring back Montezuma Brown.

I'm led to believe that most of the US stock of the 4003Snow Glos were snapped up instantly, but that there are few shipped and available in Germany. If anyone there can find one for sale, I have a good friend from another bass forum here in Australia that would give his right errr.... something for one.

The white is pretty, much better than the yellow. To me the yellow just doesn't look right.

May I have your permission to rub your avatar for luck...?

Sounds like an old Arte Johnson line from Laugh-In:

"Would you like to rub my avatar, little girl?"

Highlander · August 24, 2013, 05:50:03 PM

[sobbing] no permission... [/sobbing]

Pilgrim · August 24, 2013, 08:00:54 PM

Yesssssss......yesssssss my precious, you may rub my avatar.

Woo hoo hoo..........

Really love the white. can't tell for sure but looks like no binding also. I have a Burg and midnight blue so white would complement nicely. Maybe lucky I am still out of work.

Price will be insulting..... then again i play foderas so everything is relative....

So most of the white ones were shipped to Germany and only 15 were made for the US market (and sold within 10 minutes). Uwe, or anyone else in Germany: do you know where I can locate one in Germany?

Highlander · August 28, 2013, 01:44:59 AM

I could make some tasteless joke about Aryan bass but I'll keep out of this one...

Good luck with the hunt, Ilan... I suspect Uwe is out of the country or in some deep, dark bunker with limited internet access from one of his recent comments...

Better email or PM him, he doesn't check the Rick forum every day.
