FLCL probably had more to do with my final decision to go with Midnite Blue (since turquoise was going to be pretty hard to find) than I'd like to admit. I knew I liked the sound from listening to Mogwai and other bands, but that show was so full of such obvious love for and....creative uses of various instruments that I just HAD to have a Rick at least somewhat like Haruko's.

Actually, it's Azureglo, not Turquoise. It's also a 4001. But i really want a Blueburst bass and stick a FLCL stick right on the pickguard!
I currently own 6 Ric basses ... I have owned and worked on many more ... http://www.3dentourage.com/425/gallery.htm![]()
lol, I always get the official color names confused. I forget all of them, even Fireglo and Jetglo! I just go blank. Which is just silly. I blame my medications.
I hear ya on the Blueburst. Never seen one in person but the photos are always REALLY gorgeous!
the first 3 were 4003s5 basses ... that is to say they came from the factory with 5 strings ...
I currently have 6 Rics ... only 4 of the above basses are still mine ... and I have a 2030, and a 2020
