Favorite Rickenbacker 4003 Color
- Thread starter BigBigGuy44
- Start date
Burgundy was the usual name of the color, but rarely on some printed order sheets from Rickenbacker, it was called Burgundyglo.
Desert Gold was the COY for 2001. It was usually paired with the standard white binding and plastic and chrome hardware, but there are a few examples done with black binding, plastic, and hardware.
My wife bought your book for me shortly after it was released. Excellent read, love the stories and the photos. I highly recommend it for anyone that has an interest in bass guitars. I'm on the road using my down time to lust over 4003's. Thought that starting a thread on colors would be neat and was also hoping to see tons of cool pics. I am not disappointed. You have some awesome RIC's Paul, especially that Sea Green.
When I think of Rics I immediately think Fireglo with the checkerboard binding. I don't think a more elegant looking finish was ever conceived for use with a bass guitar.

Turku - I meant in this poll only. Snowglo was not originally listed as an option.
BTW, Snowglo with checkerboard binding is my favorite by far:
Any of the blues would be nice, but the Azureglo COY is my favorite. Only 6 lefty 4003s made, though - so I'm not holding my breath waiting for one...Still, my Desert Gold 4003 is really pretty - out in the sun. Pretty beige-y otherwise, though...
Well, Azureglo was never a COY, and I don't know how anyone could know that just 6 lefties of any Rick were made. The full story on all the Rick colors (up to 2013 anyway) is in the book.
Hey Guys -
KILLER news!
I just found out the owner of the Snowglo Ric with checkerboard binding about to put it on the market. As far as I'm aware this is the ONLY one like it in the entire U.S.
It's going to be interesting to see who gets this beauty.

Sorry - I meant the Blueburst. How do I know that there were only 6 lefties? Because a few years ago, someone over on the Rickresource forum got John Hall to look it up (with great reluctance, too); and he said there were only 6 of them.....
Well I went ahead and ordered a Ruby 4003 yesterday from Wildwood. Looking forward to getting it! Also, thanks to anyone on this site who has recommended Wildwood. They are a pleasure to buy from!
Hmm. You must have gotten the last Ruby 4003 they had because I don't see any others on their site. Ruby was discontinued earlier this year (I believe).
Yes, it was indeed the last one. I wanted to get one since they were discontinued, and when I saw they had one, I decided to jump on it.
I find the lack of BlueBurst disturbing.
hey, i had that one! and a darn fine color it is, too!
I must say, I'm surprised / shocked / stunned by just how popular midnight blue is, along how popular the other blue 400x are
