NBD! Rickenbacker SnoGlo w/ Checkerboard Binding

[Rickybass4001]

Nice looking Ric. Love that checkered binding.

Actually, Maurice Gibb had several Ricks. The white one in question was originally a Fireglo RM 1999. In one of the photos above, there's another full-trim (binding, shark-fin markers) white one as well. Wints still has the Gibb bass last time I checked.

That is a stunner! Unique but nails that Rick look! Congratulations!

Really nice bass. I am determined to continue to find ways to play around my pickup cover.

I find myself playing most often between 2 pickups with thumb resting on the cover.

Absolutely beautiful bass

Im trying. I LOVE the look of the PU cover, but I'm so used to being able to move my right hand around.

White Rics are cool ...

That white beast is sexxy.

There's one for sale at a shop in Germany but they're wanting £2000 for it, which works out around $3000!! That's just crazy money.

That is one gorgeous bass..It's like the anti-Blackstar...About the p\up cover..I tried to leave it on for as long as possible too but, in the end it had to come off..I do love the look with the cover on but, it's like having a speed bump in the middle of the interstate...congrats and enjoy.

incredible! I've always loved white basses. The one time I had a ric I ordered a machined plastic cover to replace that bridge piece that many people don't like. I'm sure the company still makes them.

That is absolutely ridiculous congrats and why doesn't Ric offer this color?

 

[ggoat!!!]

I was just looking over these pics (I saved them to my computer) and couldn't help but notice how easy it is to see the routing underneath the pickguard...perhaps it is due to the white color? I haven't noticed it on any of my Ricks...but check out the pics below. The routing is clearly visible even at reduced resolution...

I decided to leave the cover intact. It took me a while, but I adapted to it. The contour of the body pretty well lends itself to finger plucking in between the 2 PUs. For me at least, my pinky tends to rest on the cover while my index and middle fingers do the work. I'm actually more of a Fender P guy in general [insert cliches here about why] but I do make it a point to play the Ric from time to time. Usually it's just sitting home playing along with YouTube vids, but I am going to gig it one of these fine days. The guitarist / singer I jam with laughs at me: "what are you going to play tonight?".

I use http://www.tubeampology.com/ for mine (the model with the raised lip for thumbrest). I held on to the cover in case I for some reason need to sell down the line. The bezel is a super-clean install.

Where`d you get the PU skirt for your Ric?? I`d much rather have THAT one!!

Best looking Ric I've seen, congrats!

Yeah, it's actually kinda cool.
