I've got a Washburn RB2802 8 string bass for sale. It is in "like new" condition. I've only used it a few times. Looks and sounds very nice. Let me know if you are interested and we can negotiate.

Karl doing a little band name dropping. I know very few people who know of Let's Active. I opened for them in Berkely CA way back in 1988. Mitch and I jammed during warm-up. He is quite talented. I'm not sure which cd would be the best to hear his Ric, but Big Plans for Everybody was my favorite. I ...

Mark. Thanks for sending along that website. I had never seen the set they did for MTV. Good stuff.

So I'm watching VH1 Classic and XTC Mayor of Simpleton is on. Is Moulding playing a Hondo Ric knock-off bass in that video? It's hard to tell.

Just thought you guys might be interested in this. Berklee College of Music has some free on-line lessons for download at:

I have not seen them available on the Ric website for a long time. Ebay might be your best bet.

Thanks Phelps. I ordered the cd. We'll see if it jogs my memory once I hear it. According to Ackerson's webpage he lives in uptown Mpls. Uptown has gotten very trendy over the years, but back when The Dig was around, uptown was the place to be. Very cool music scene for many years in the 80's and ea...

Boston by way of Minneapolis by way of Superior WI.

Phelps. I'm from Mpls and I was big into the music scene in the early 80's. I don't recall either of those bands you mentioned. I do remember an all girl band that played Rics, but can't remember their name. They used to play at the Hair Police. Remember that place? It was on 7th Street between Nort...

Cool band with a cool jet glo Ric. I was browsing the Rolling Stone Orignal videos on my RealPlayer and saw a few with these guys. Good jangle pop.

Just did a search and found your website and Cisco Pike's. Good stuff. Actually, you can hear a little These Days'esque on the Pike stuff. I sent a msg to them on their website. Too bad none of you guys are in Boston.

Love this board. Thanks for the intel. The cd is really kick ***. I wish they would have done more. So is the lead singer in a band in Washington? Does Cisco Pike or your band have a similar sound? Do you have a website with some files to listen to? I got a response back from Kitty Tatman at Catamou...

Does anyone have any info on this band? I was big into them in the early 90's when they released the cd "Carnival." They played Ric guitars and the cd inlay has a pic of them with one. I just dusted off the cd and listened to it and suddenly realized these guys are awesome again. Can't fin...
