Ninja_Baby Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've always been extremely jealous of the posts you see on here of peoples partners surprising them with a new bass. Thinking why can't i meet someone like that!. Well it turns out I have. On a recent trip to a local music store I glanced at what I think is the most amazing looking bass. (Some/most may disagree). One glance at the price gave me a massive sense of sadness knowing I'll never own that bass. Fast forward about 4 months, to my utter surprise my better half let slip she had bought me it. Not only that, but it had sat in my cupboard for the last few weeks! Without my knowledge. The bass in question is this [url="http://s918.photobucket.com/user/nicklovell1982/media/IMG_1365.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s918.photobucket.com/user/nicklovell1982/media/IMG_1359.jpg.html"][/url] A glorious Rickenbacker 4003 Snowglo. I've owned several Ricks in the past a few 4003's and 4001's. This is by far the best sounding and playing of the bunch. It has that signature Ricky sound. Sounds thunderous. I've never been keen on white guitars but this one just looks stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Very nice indeed! Although I'm not a huge Ric fan that's a mighty fine gift from your other half. On a different note, are your band still going? I've been a massive fan of a few of your tracks on Soundcloud and Spotify (From the Bones Out and Shadows) but they've gone now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the band just after Christmas. I think there is still some stuff on [url="https://soundcloud.com/ninjababymusic"]soundcloud[/url] though. If you want them I'll upload the tracks to my dropbox.

Ninja_Baby Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 From what I understand this is 1 of only 15 snowglo 4003's made. Only for US sale apparently. I could be wrong however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedoghouse Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Beautiful Ric and what an awesome gift! :-) My early '73 Fireglo is a keeper, for sure. Enjoy your new Ric! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
