So pretty. Wow!!

Fellow Ric Freaks, My beloved 08 MID 4003 and I will be on stage with my band, Little Beirut, as we celebrate the release of our 3rd album, Fear of Heaven. The show is Sept 4 in Portland, OR. We'll have some killer guest musicians as well. You can get a teaser shot of my MID in our new video for the...

That was great! :D Yeah, very cool! Good luck with LB. 8) Thanks again, folks! For those in the Portland, OR area, I'll be posting LB's show info in the appropriate forum. Album release show is Sept 4 in Portland. Can't wait to meet any other Ric freaks who find their way out to the show! Peace!

Just added a Kala U Bass to my growing family. Tasty indeed!

Peace

Thanks for the kind words, Joey.

And thanks to you, Peter!!

Thanks Joey! I got my first Ric in January (a new MID 4003). Having only played fretless for the prior 20 or so years, I was stoked to get a fretted again, and especially to have it be a Ric. In fact, I've been so obsessed since I got it, I've all but completely neglected my beloved 5-string custom ...

Thanks for taking time to check it out, guys. I'm glad y'all like it. I'll surely update you when the show is finalized so you can tell your folks.

Peace!

Yeah, Joey...I like the Fender sound too. Will add one of those to the arsenal soon (after I procure a fretless Ric). We have a show planned in the Portland area soon, and it will be recorded both audio and video. I'll post it once that happens. Thanks, Harley...very nice of you to say. I'm stoked t...

Thanks a lot, guys! I'm glad you all liked it. Though, I should have clarified this in the first post: I didn't record the song--this was done before I joined the band. The recording was actually with a Fender P-bass. And yes, Edwin (lead guitar-turned bass player for the album) used a pick on the s...

Greetings, Ric Freaks! I just moved to the Portland, OR area from San Francisco. Before I made the move, I was fortunate to audition and get the gig as Little Beirut's bass player. They're soon releasing their 3rd album, Fear of Heaven. Some of you may know I've been obsessed with my 08 MID Ric (for...

John - I'm game for your MID FL if you ever get tired of it (like that would ever happen).

I'm still giddy over my MID 4003, and boy would I love a MID FL to match. What year is your MID FL?

Peace!

This is disheartening. Really. How awful and sinister. I'm sorry this sort of thing happens, and that unsuspecting folks get suckered.

Tasty news. Welcome! Enjoy your Ric, as I know you will.

I voted NO. I think Cadillac tried that once. Anyone remember the Cadillac Cimarron? Anybody like it? I didn't think so. There are too many other bass manufacturers that produce "decent" low-to-mid range instruments. To me, I always saw Rickenbacker as a step up. I was excited when I was ...

Oh, how I'd love to attend. I've been living in the Bay Area for the last 3 1/2 years. Alas, I'm moving to the Portland, OR area at the end of June. Perhaps I can make it back down.
