Saw Duran Duran tonight and John was using the Rio Dream bass. 
 

It sounded great, and now I wish i had ordered one.

 

looks like he swapped the pick guard to a white one.

Ever since I saw these pictures I have been torn on which pick guard I will use!!!! Now I’m almost leaning white 🤔

I’m seeing them in September which feels soooo far away… jury’s out on whether the show or the bass will arrive first

Which is what I said.

Maybe I should have placed some punctuation in there….

“You’re quite right and I don’t think they’re supposed to be - as per the album cover.”

whoops I thought you were saying “I don’t think they’re supposed to be [wider]”

The stripes also bend on the cover, which is why they aren’t straight on the bass

That listing sold days ago so I wonder if someone’s payment bounced… 😬

each European dealer got two ....

 

so go for it if you feel like it 

 

once gone ... they're gone 

I was lucky and got my hands on one during the dingwall preorder so I’m all set 🤘

Do you know how many of the 82 went to dealers then? I’m just very curious as to how many were actually available for the first preorder

That's interesting, definitely against everything I've read about it, that this colour is unique to this run?

Can confirm that the rio cranberry color is exclusive to the limited 82 run. The regular production model (in seafoam green, black, and white) is coming this summer, according to designer patty palazzo. There are plans for an eventual 5 string as well. But yes, other than the color, drop d, inlay, bag and strings set, the production models are “identical” to the limited run. I think what the poster meant is that all the electronics etc will be identical
