    FWIW the headstock wings are walnut.[/quote]

    You're absolutely right, the headstock wings are Walnut. Can't think for the life of me why I wrote Mahogany, must have been the Peroni's catching up with me!!!

    Does the blueburst have a name? I assume it ends in glo? :P

    The blue colour's name you mention was called exactly that, Blueburst.
    It was the Colour of the year for 2005, however Rickenbacker had previously done a couple of guitars for Mary Chapin Carpenter in that finish.

    When Rickenbacker do a 'Colour of the year', they only finish the orders taken that year, and then delete the Colour, so they do remain fairly rare. Rickenbacker have currently suspended 'Colour of the year' and are only concentrating on their four standard Colours to speed up production.

    In answer to the topic's question, I'd go Fireglo all day long. It's a truly gorgeous finish, plus you get to see the grain of the wood (stunning on Rickenbackers), as well as the Walnut wings on the headstock. You miss both of these with the solid colours.

    I own a Blueburst 4003, and she's a real stunner. I do however still lust over a Fireglo model, and a while back I was thinking of selling her to buy a Fireglo model.

    Here's a link to some photo's of my Blueburst 4003 in case anyone's interested: [url="http://s850.photobucket.com/albums/ab65/Minty731/Rickenbacker%204003/?albumview=slideshow"]http://s850.photobuc...mview=slideshow[/url]

  3. Hi

    Up for sale is my mint condition, practically brand new TC Electronic rig. This rig is a couple of months old and I'm only selling as I wanna save up for an Ampeg rig.

    It's the BH 500 head with two matching 2x12 cabs.
    This rig is truly amazing and I have been using this over my Ashdown Klystron rig since I got her. The 3 pre-sets are great for switching sounds during a gig (I only set two, one for pick and one for fingers).
    It's the first time I've ever had 12" cabs, but they really are awesome.

    Also included in the price are a set of Roqsolid covers for each item, and I still have all the manuals and leads that came supplied.

    It's one seriously loud rig, I only take one cab to our practice studio, and then take the second cab along to gigs.
    This is a lot of rig for less than £700!!!

    This will be pick up only from North London, and anyone is welcome to come try her out. Fell free to call me on 07825 156152

    I'll add some pics in the week, but here are the website links:
