So, I've got the Rathenbacker on the guitar rack backstage last night at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana and a guy who works there yells "who's Ric?" I come forward and the guy tells me he builds necks at Ric for his day job and what a ...

I actually think it's easier to load-in/out my SVT 810 then my Eden 410. With the Eden I must lift ~100Lbs. in/out of the vehicle. Twice, for 2 of them. While with the SVT 810 I can roll it up, tilt it over lift it from the bottom and slide it in.

The 410 does provide the opportunity to pile a ...

Jeff, that bass sounds so good through an SVT the guys in the band and our FOH engineer won't let me play anything but that bass. Mucho Thanks!

Slow Ride, Jared?

Here's my Rathenbacker at the big rock show with Union of Saints opening for Foghat

No reason to fret (bah ha ha) on the lack of availability of Ric-O-Sound boxes. I just use a TRS cable and a "splitter" which has a locking TRS female connector on one end that Ys out to two TS males on 3' of wire.

The SVT-II (or SVT-300 power-amp ...

And. thanks to Jeff Rath for putting the socket head screws on my 4-2-5!

I did . . . a lot in the late 70's/early 80's. That one and a Koa Mockingbird. Unfortunately, the neck broke on the 'bird. One of these days I'm going to break out the Bich and use it at Church.

You mean like this?

Just add spandex and bam!

Are you asking me? I don't think so!

Uh, it is actually Eric's frapper I told someone else to do it. Leave it to me and it's bassists.

Someone can make another for all RIC.

I had Butch at Bayou Cables http://www.bayoucables.com/ make me a very nice Ric-O-Sound cable. 2 mono plugs Y'd to a female TRS (locking). Then I just use a TRS cable from the Ric. Same net result without the box.

Disclaimer: No affiliation with Bayou cables. I just like his work, quality and ...

Doggonit! No one took the bait so I went ahead and made a frapper.
