What's the book Paul?

What a beauty, a little out of my price range though...

Thanks guys for all the welcomes and advice... I'm totally sold on Ricks after years of prevaricating on whether I actually need a £1000+ bass and the answer is unequivocally YES...
Loving my '73 MG CB :D
I might need a new 4003 to complement it though :wink:

I'm gonna leave it as is for the time ...

Because of the cavity? Any suggestions?

Cheers

great score ! looks like the april '73 i let go with a badarse bridge but i put walnut headwings on mine. enjoy it ! what's the two letters on your jackplate ?

Thanks!

ME on the jackplate, making it May '73. I'm considering putting a period correct Rick bridge back on, but I love how this sounds ...

And what a WONDERFUL CHOICE TOO!

Checkered binding and MG!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you... I'm absolutely blown away by this bass.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does MG mean??

Just bought this 1973 Maple with checkerboard binding. Sounds amazing!
