Favorite Rickenbacker 4003 Color

[AltGrendel]

If I were to get one, it'd be walnut.

My '80s 4003 finish was called Autumn-glo I think? Didn't see that in the poll so I voted for Walnut.

 

[gidbass]

MID for me!

Carrots.......glo.

 

[woodyng2]

I voted other,because the COY Amber Fireglo is probably my favorite factory finish.
(But i do love turquoise,too!)

Rickenbacker Ruby 4003S

 

[Thornton Davis]

I really like Jetglo, Mapleglo and Fireglo but this is has been my favourite RIC finish ever since I first encountered it back in 69.

I guess you know which colour I voted for.

I thought the blue boy was just sick

I've been warming to the Walnut models too, typically don't like maple FB's, but it looks good on the 4003w. I like it better with white binding tgan without.

Another vote for Ruby.. Cuz that's what I have

Yes, +1. I had a 1970s 4001 in Autumnglo. Back in the 1990s when I owned and ultimately sold it, Autumnglo was the finish nobody wanted (kind of like my Mocha 1974 Jazz Bass!). But absence has made this Ric fan's heart grow fonder, and I am a couple of days away from taking delivery on this *very* nice Fireglo 4001 from 1981. Fireglo isn't necessarily my favorite, but I think this one is understated and less orange than is sometimes the case. As soon as I saw that pick wear and the belt-buckled back, the switch in my head clicked on. Chad Beeler did setup and installed the treble bezel. In his words, "it's a good one for sure."

Partial to FireGlo. I mean, seriously. Look!

In the interest of adding more colours that aren't in the poll, he's my Azure Glo Blue.

 

[Tanner5382]

No. Turquoise was a different shade, a blue-green metallic. It was available from 1994 to 2003. One of possibly as few as three Turquoise 4001V63:

Wow, that looks awesome!

I had the opportunity to pick up a NOS Amber Fireglo 2-3 years ago at a very good price but didn't have the coin. Completely forgot about that color until you mentioned it. It was sharp.

 

[Tanner5382]

Ruby is my pick.

Mapleglo

 

[mapleglo]

Mapleglo has always been my favorite. Jetglo is also really nice. Though I've been gassing for a snowglo as of late. And those walnut ones are very pretty as well. That said, I currently have a Mapleglo and a Jetglo, though I voted for Maple and Snow. Can I just have one of each color?

 

[CGremlin]

I've already got the walnut covered, but I'd *love* to get a Blue Burst. They look amazing.

 

[Jeff K]

This one is not mine, but I had one just like it. Montezuma Brown - my favorite. I also owned a Fireglo. But one of my favorites has always been Thornton Davis' Burgundyglo.
