I am up to 6 now myself... lol


I would say you need a RIC bass now...

It's been refinished several times over the years!! Always keeping an eye out for another RIC - 4,6 or 12 stringed!

Your Combo is awesome, you don't see too many of them! Those pics from MARF are really something too, a collection of real beauties! I've always wondered how that horseshoe is when it comes to playing though, looks like it might be a little awkward for strumming & picking?

Beautiful job on your restoration, well worth the effort! People do some weird things to their guitars...

Thanks guys, like I said, I'm happy to be here! I've had RAS for over 30 years, my mom got me that 430 when I was about 12 or 13 and I've been adding Ricks ever since!

Jonathan, check out that vibrato @ www.phantomguitars.com , they're doing some very cool stuff...

Happy to be here, thanks! Gotta have that extra shimmy! Those are Hallmark vibratos, very close to Mosrite (on the 620), which the original Hallmarks were a spin-off from. They work really well but the prices have gone up. Got one maybe 5 years ago for $75 & now they're $175. Recently got a Vox ...

Hey everyone,
I've been in the registry for a couple of years & recently started getting into forums in general. You guys seem to be having so much fun here I just had to join! This is awesome, I never get tired of looking at the pictures & hearing people talk about their Ricks!
