One of Phil Collins' old bands - "Flaming Youth"

Check the bassist.

Also, good to be back here.

Where you been? We've been speculating all sorts of evil things.

Yeah. That would be Ronnie Caryl, with Gordon Smith on guitar, Brian Chatton on keyboards, and Phil on drums. I have their sole album, 'Ark 2' (1969), and while the music has not dated well, you can tell there's a Rick bass AND guitar in there. Check out 'Venus-Bringer Of Peace' for a 'nervous' Rick guitar solo, and 'In The Light Of Love' for an inconspicuous yet definite Rick bass tone.

Henny...Good to see you back! Where you been!?!? I e mailed you at the old addy a few times and got nothing...Was wondering all kinds of s**t!

That looks like an early 64 with the short horseshoe taper...

Just because there are no Ric.s in the stable at the moment doesn't mean we don't want to here from you,Don't go too far boy.

Steve, Ken, Wints, Bob!

Well, went on a mini-tour with my father's band playing 250-1000 seater venues in the UK, they have a small but dedicated following. Didn't use any Rics unfortunately.

It was so rushed I had no time to wrap up my online stuff, etc.

Used two basses, Fender Precision Lyte and a Yamaha BB1100S (which is currently my fave. bass ever)

Now I'm back, I'll be after a new gal soon, namely a Blueboy 4003 or something.

Unless that RM1999 with my name on mystically appears.

Good to see you back. What's the name of your father's band?

Angry Stars, Phil.

Big in the late 70s/ early 80s.

I think we have a website!

I'll try and locate it.

Maybe it's me, but the picture looks like the front PU isn't there. Are those his fingers or the toaster?

Welcome back Henny!

I zoomed in and there is no front pickup. The bridge p/u is a horseshoe

wints · Post by **wints** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:53 am

So is it a 4000 or was there a pick up hole in the guard...

charlyg · Post by **charlyg** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 6:33 am

I see no pick up hole but he does have 4 knobs!

rickaddict · Post by **rickaddict** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:13 am

I don't think he has any fingers on his right hand either. What could this all mean?

rickaddict · Post by **rickaddict** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:15 am

Wait a minute....Are you sure that's not Eric Idle on bass?
