    I want one. I'm close to getting one. I've narrowed it down to two choices. I can't make up my mind.

    Vote, and then tell me why you chose that one.

    Sorry, I reject out of hand any choice other than the ones listed. The heart wants what the heart wants.

    Jetglo, because I think black looks better with chrome. Fireglo used to be a good one to get so you could wait for it to turn more amber, but with the new UV finish, I think it'd be a long wait. But I suppose it just depends on what you like. Personally, I'm a Jetglo guy, firstly.

    Easy choice for me.

    My first actual bass teacher (Casey Starnes) played a Jetglo 4001 at the time.

    I also own a 1992 Jetglo 4003, it's an outstanding example of a great Ric, (and looks swell with a tuxedo). :)

    A tuxedo Ric goes well with a tuxedo too, but again, not on OP's list. :)

    Fireglo is beautiful. But Jetglo looks better on Rics... to me that is.

    Black and Ric just seem to go together in my eyes.

    When you're invited to a formal event, does the invitation say "red tie"? No. No it doesn't.

    To me, Ric = Fireglow... just an image I have in my head. Black is cool, but kinda...boring? :)

    Either way, can't go wrong, as long as you like the bass!
