The beauty of a 350/12V63
The beauty of a 350/12V63
Hi,
I am new to this forum and had only one topic in the guitar section before - however I want to share this one - my first Ric - a 350/12V63.
Bought it 3 months ago used but in mint condition (manufactured in 2005) - Have fun !
Three glossy toasters - sound as they look
Trapeze tailpiece, needs careful handling while restringing, octaves first into the grooves
Headstock might look somewhat confusing - I love the way strings vanish into their machines
The case and the beauty
Just another body shot
Look at those extended pole pieces - the real vintage
and here's one of my favourite pics - scratch plate detached and flipped up, a macro shot with some dust on the glossy finish
Hope you've enjoyed viewing as much as I do playing
Cheers,
Peter

That extended pole piece shot is incredible, Peter.
Here's a hint:
I always have a can of "Dust-Off" and also a feather-duster with me when I shoot my projects.
Just before taking those photos, a quick spritz or swipe, clears those nasty dust motes. They are a distraction that can really spoil a really tremendous shot!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Hi ,
many thanks for all the kind responses !
Especially for hints how to make it even better - keeping away the dust - I have to take more care next time was too excited then.
I am sure there will be some follow up's of a new 4003 Fireglo bass very soon - need more sun over here
Have fun !
Peter

Dust is a major PITA, especially with Jetglo and chrome.
Re: The beauty of a 350/12V63
Thats a great looking 12string.
