Thanks for the comments all. ^_^ I just put it up for the night. These basses are just unreal. ^_^

There you are Nickie!

CONGRATULATIONS on your new arrival.

I'm glad you are happy with your new addition.

I feel lucky that I was able to help make it happen.

Just be warned...........this ISN'T an END to your RIC gas, ONLY the beginning! :wink: :twisted:

Enjoy it in good health.

You have ...

^_^ Im working on that now. Sadly my laptop and my photobucket account do not get along after some weird upgrade windows did to my Vista (I hate vista so much) so a friend is hosting my pics for me on her photobucket page. I just emailed her and asked if she could resize a few so hopefully I will be ...

Howdy! ***links to some pics further down the page***

Long time no post!! Longish post ahead! I dont know if any of you remember me or not. I joined here a year ago or close to it and was asking around about what Ric would be right for me. I knew next to nothing about them but kept reading people ...

This is all some really interesting stuff Im reading here. Man Im going to need so much help when I get my first Ric. The poor thing....

Hi all!
Thanks for the new comments! Ive gotten some info on that 81 4001 I was directed to and thats the one Im going to shoot for. It seems exactly what Im looking for. ^_^ This board is very helpful! What I came in here looking for and what Im shooting for now are two different things. I had no ...

Sorry the thread went off topic.

To recap, I came here looking for a Laredo and now Im looking for a 4001 or a /new/ 4003. ^_^ What works just fine. I have read the Laredo necks are a bit wide? I would not care for that I think. The late 70s to '83 4001's have the real thin/narrow necks as do the ...

We now offer this footnote:

Pop artist Keith Haring was a protege of Andy Warhol and made it to the toppermost of the poppermost in the art world before his premature demise. Here's one example of his graphic style:

I had a 79 T40 back in the early 80s that I sold.


Welcome Nickita...I had a T40 in natural which had a chance to become one of the most valuable basses in the world. Long story short, I played in a psychedelic rock band in the early 80's and the singer knew this downtown NYC artist who was ...

Thanks! My 4001 is very comfortable to play and about 8-1/2 pounds in weight. I actually put the bridge pickup cover back on and frame my hand around it when I use a pick. I found that a rick bass is a very special animal and had to adjust my style when I got her. For example, I'm used to muscling ...

I'm in Lake Wales. Orlando is not that far away from me. I really should test drive a Ric before I get one but at the same time, I think I might be a freak in the sense that I can buy a bass cold ...

Nickita, I forgot last night, I was going to link you to these photos:

She's my pride and joy :mrgreen:

Shes beautiful!! And I love the close up shots of the body!!!! This was exactly what I needed to see ...

Sounds like a T40 nut like me. 8) I had a 79 T40 back in the early 80s that I sold. I later gave up bass and got back into it late last year and all I could obsess about was getting a T40 back!! I did about February of this year and I literally hugged it when I unpacked it. Uhm, ok I guess Female ...

Does anybody ever get any sleep around here? :lol: An all night party, eh? :mrgreen:

We all know why we play bass, it is obviously a superior instrument, 4 strings, notwithstanding. :D

When I started playing I didn't much encouragement from my parents so I don't think it is necessarily a gender ...
