Rickenbacker 4003s Midnight Purple

[Gunga Din]

Is this a worldwide release, or limited to UK only?

I must say, I really like the finish, and how it contrasts with the fingerboard.

never understood why rickenbacker don't make more custom colours available.

If they offered that in fretless I'd be sorely tempted. I'd put a different color pickguard on it, though.

That is sweet. That will look amazing on stage.

Fretless Rics are most peculiar animals. Not a big market.*

*Don’t get me wrong; I have one, but there’s still not a big market for them.

If they offered that without the tacky pickguard and the silly bridge pickup surround it would be perfect!

Prince is smiling down upon this Rick

It's hard to find decent pics of this online but it looks tasty (and sparkly)!

I saw that last week on Bass Direct's site.
Its listed as a UK only color.

 

[LadyLoveStingRay5]

I would call that Fuchsia rather than purple. It is lovely !!!

 

[micguy]

Oh lord.

Yes, he played keys for Deep Purple. Not sure how many others will get your reference, but I did.

When you can sell everything you make with a few colors, there's no reason to wander away from that.
