I play with a guy who was the original bass player in the Warlock Pinchers...he used to play on stage wearing a diaper...this only begins to describe that band. He started at their first gig with a four-string and ended with a three...this became a two-string by the end of the second show, and a one-string one show later, which remained his setup of choice from then on. It wasn't a Ric...can't remember what it was, but I'm sure the Grover would have been an upgrade.

Anyway, this ad says it's a 'tunning' peg...the last time I got 'tunned' it took me three days to recover...

That's cool! Not just any washtub would do, either...you'd want something hip and Asian from Pier One...

Those are useful for anyone trying to keep their old Ric stock, if I had a few extra bucks I'd probably buy it. People snap those up.
