Its been a few years since i last came here...

Soooooo

4004Cii with quilted maple faces
Affordable 4005 reproductions

Finally got my tractor!

Damn!

Love those LK!

I have 3 B-15 heads but prefer the B-12 with 7868 tubes vs the Chinese copy 6L6 or Rusky KT66

Oh baby!

I've stopped buying after that White 4008.

Sooner or later I will have a fire sale, the whole lot.

Oh yeah.

Glad to see you back around here, Jared, been WAY too long.

Unfortunately, I never saw it coming.

Thank goodness for internet technology to catch cheaters

BTW, its a RED Massey-Ferguson!

I've been away MUCH to long, went thru job changes and a nasty surprise with someone I THOUGH I could trust to be with me forever

Paul sorry I've been a sh@thead,

Whoa, I'm away for a few minutes and these thing come outta the bay.

Damn.

Love the skunk as well.
Where have you been, dude??? :shock:

Sudden unemployement had a strange effect on me, suddenly NOT playing my RICs and getting a tractor were no longer feasible.

But having settled into the new ...

Whoa, I'm away for a few minutes and these thing come outta the bay.

Damn.

Love the skunk as well.

It's too bad others haven't offered us the same courtesy as Kevin did . . .

Who would do such a thing?!

Oh man, ya gonna love them 4004's.

To ME, the build-the wood used and the gold bling make for an outstanding looking piece. The tone and vibe is different than a 4003, but still uniquely "RIC" Still looking... (sighs)

Yay, Jared made it with the 8-strings!

Wow, Jared! Not one, but TWO 8-stringers!

Not three? :?:

I used to be able to do the 8-string two-fer but sold the 4008 - here's the comparison shot, '82 Fireglo 4008 & '93 Jetglo 4003S/8:
