Well after some long discussions between the members and some serious changes made by our bassist he seems to have seen the light and is working on returning to the fold.

For fun here's the full version of Firth for those of you who idabble in the prog ...

..."is there anyone else up there we can talk to" ?

Yeah Montana is some beautiful country for sure. And CA well yeah... We do hope to be out there on the circuit if we can get lucky and get some great bassist to bite. California that is.... Montana might be a tough demographic to tap with this stuff.

And yeah... Zappa's on the work up list as ...

yes indeed gentlemen, and thanks. The knobs look very much like the standard Ric knob. But I have never seen them before without the printing on them. You now, Volume ... Treble .... Bass etc. I was just curious to know if Ric ever used knobs like this. I mean perhaps John ran out one afternoon and ...

Hi guy's it's been a while. I have a rci 4001 1979 in the WT/BT I was considering selling but I have never seen lower prices on vintage rics like this ever so am trying to hold off as long as I can. In the meantime this bass has some great mojo and all kinds of the typical finsih yellowing and ...

I certainly hope this post is allowed? If not I certainly understand its removal.

But we have what we feel is an exceptional band and we are in the horrible position of having to fire our Berkeley trained bassist recently. We are now obviously searching for someone who can sing some harmonies and ...

Thank you gentlemen, as always.....I am planning on letting this go fairly soon it is a 79, Plays like a dream but I just can't keep it (cash flow) just wanted an opinion on the tuners. Now that I know some were unmarked I am more confident as these have the age on them and look right. Thanks again ...

Have a brown colored 4001 1979 The tuners look vintage but I do not see the stamp anywhere on these? Just curious. Thanks in advance

Yep, I saw that white one, a little pricy for me. Not sure if their worth quite that yet anyway. This is why I came here first.
I have spoken with Dave Pasco once again, I think he must hold a record of sorts for the most owned double ric's.... Dave I really would like to see your guitars all in ...

Never questioned the prices, Mine went for $5,000 and that was five years ago now. When I thought of the double neck I did actually think about yours in California. IDane it is good to here from you again............... Your right, I could actually use the guitar neck on top as the leads are ...

That's it Thanks guy's! Dave's collection is really something. Nice guy too, now I have to see if I can talk him inot letting one of those monsters go a for a while.
Lesson learned here gentlemen.................Never Ever sell something that is not easily replaced. Money is Money but instruments ...

Hery Guy's have not been in here for some time. Sadly sold the Ricks I had including the 5 string conversion I made long ago. Have been doing an acoustic solo thing for fun and profit but now I find I am involved in a prog rock project with some great musicians again an our opening song is Los Endos ...

I backed out from chasing the S-5 and to be honest I thank you guy's for the heads up on the string spacing. I do not think I would be comfortable with anything less than about 2 1/2" across the bridge, anyway Ihave to hang my head in shame..........well at least in here because I did find another ...

O my god! Don't go down the potatohead road. it takes years to find your way back!

Would love to see some of those Photo's of Chris playing that one though.

Funny now that I look at this post after not being here for a while I see the repetitiveness of it all, People like John Hall and even ...

Hey Jeff, Guy across the pond loved the conversion, I got tired of the string spacing. Man; I have to admit, Ricky's are still climbing in price all the time.
I saw the one on ebay and have the high bid now but in this color it may go higher than I figured on paying. Also in case no one noticed ...
