Short scale basses also seem to play to the hipster millennial

OK, that just changed my mind. No short scales for me!

Those are pretty cool.

I absolutely love it. It would be nice to see something similar emerge as a regular offering.

I'm looking forward to seeing some more vids of these basses in action.

Hopefully the next recipient of one of these basses will be a better player. At this point I'm surprised that RIC used three sets of NOS 4002 body wings to build three basses that were essentially the same for someone that scarcely deserves one such bass.

Agree. It would be nice to see/hear vid that actually demonstrates the tone of the bass...

Uh... what?

I'm with Rhys on this; who gets to determine worthiness, here?

That's the most dickish thing I have ever read on the RRF.

I couldn't agree more Jeff

I've never listened to any of their music before. Pretty cool stuff!!

Any videos of them with he Rick in action?

I wish I still had my Dan Armstrong bass.

A plexi Ampeg? Yeah, they were very cool basses, but the ones I have played were like bowling balls in weight.

Oh ya, they were heavy! My brother had a couple of the guitars too.
