Nice to be back - Life goes on
Hi All,
Been way too long since I was able to be here, as usual, life tends to gets in the way, and among other things I'm now a Grandfather twice over ...
In addition to that I recently moved and I now the dust is settling have the luxury of my own office / Music room space.
Although life has got in the way of playing and posting I've managed to still aquire a few very nice Rics, some of which are shown below
(three v63's a re-issue 4003-S, my Chris Squire, and my March 73 4001)
The MapleGlo v63 has a Magnetic Horseshoe And, yesterday, I managed to score this lovely July 1972 Fireglo 4001 in very good shape which I'll pick up today
My best regards to you all as always.

Re: Nice to be back - Life goes on
Ah! So a couple of months older than mine. When I bought mine back in 85 I had the choice of the MG and a FG. I obviously went with the MG. Wish I could’ve grabbed both. Back then I had no idea about the HS!thx1955 wrote:bottom4 wrote:
