Just accidentally stumble upon the new colors for Ric.
I am not buying it. But, someone might be interested.
Plum and Blue

CME a new Ric color

So, someone put forth the idea that Metallic Plum would be a good idea and someone else agreed?
I.hate to say it but it's the exact same color as Voban, that pink vomit absorber school janitors use when Friday's tuna fish fights a losing battle with little Johnny's stomach.
By the way, while plums can be pink, orange or even green when people think "plum" they think dark purple. I just thought the guys at Rickenbacker should be know.
Don't mean to be mean but I just woke up after a long night and I'm still half asleep.

Those two colors were ordered a couple of years ago by a Japanese distributor. Or at least something very close. They named them Metallic Plumglo and Santa Ana Skyglo. Chicago Music Exchange must have liked what they saw and ordered their own batches.
Seriously, that's neither blue nor purple, what I would consider "plum.". A woman's pink-ish nail polish, sure.
I wonder if maybe rickenbacker told Chicago music exchange: here’s what colors we have for you to choose from. And they show them recently used somewhat exclusive finishes from another market.
Well, who can account for taste? Personally, I think a 4003 makes just about anything look good, but those colors don't do much for me. Kind of tame. I'd need to see them in person. The blue is not bad, but that metallic blue Ric released a few years ago is more compelling. Just my two cents.
these colors are actually a couple months old....got the plum back in July and a month later the cielo..... in person the finish looks great!!!
The blue isn't bad, but a bit bright for me. Spoiled with my Midnight Blue.
Agreed. Kinda like a half-done Blue Burst.
That's a whole lot o' yummy goodness there!
Wait - you're a Wal collector and have 6 Rics on the side? :envious:
as far as the name plumglo.... it is rather "different"......I guess it's better than EBMM name of Raspberry Sorbet.... in my eyes it looks similar to a Jazz metallic burgundy mist
That's what's on my converted lefty MIM J, nice color. The Ric version looks a touch brighter or maybe a tad less "smoky", may depend on the light. Mine almost looks grey from some angles then morphs...

ya....I have a problem.....
That blue's pretty nice but I'm cool with my Ruby
that's 3 strings more than I can handle
very cool though!! which reminds me, im still wrestling with the idea if I want to swap white to black for the TRC and PG on the snowGlo....
I have a Tuxedo fretless too. Man, nothing sounds as unique as a Ric in the first place, but a fretless Ric - like a Unicorn with wings!that's 3 strings more than I can handle
