Yes the sticker will go and the treble bezel is here and has been waiting for the Bass for a while.
So being Canadian, I assume the first song you baptize it with will be a Rush tune?
Rickenbacker are one brand that when you get a good one, it pretty much goes unmatched, they are incredible instruments! Enjoy it!
Fireglo! Gorgeous. Now Suit Up! Can't play that wearing Crocs.
Rickenbacker is Rickenbacker, so if You got what You were expecting - congratulations. Play that funky music, on it, till You die !!!
Yes a little Tom Sawyer.
BTW there is a Ric group on TB
The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve
And there is a lot of advice out there about changes and etc. for your Ric. I just got a new Old Stock 4003 MapleGlo about a month ago.
So far loving it, and don't see a need right now to change a thing on it. I am a Finger style player using floating thumb technique, so the Bridge Pup Cover is fine for me, and nothing I need to over come. In fact it seems to give a nice option.
My only work around is the High Gloss finish on the back of the neck. To me adds a little drag after a while playing. I get around that with the tried and true Jeff Beck baby powder method.
Enjoy Amigo.
