There's actually a story behind it... comes from a Richard Pryor movie.

Really, really fun when I give it out to someone official-like... I smile uncontrollably!

And I actually have 3 of those hats... one in tan corduroy... grey wool... wait, this is a bass forum...

HAT? What hat?

Love those hats! Here's Les.

I'd prolly look goofy in one of those.. but it'd keep the hair out of my face!

NICE Paul!

It's the official hat of Rick bassists!

Howard Bishop has one too.. but he's more of a guitar player. Although he does have a fireglo 4003. I'm gonna go get one.. lol.

Les Claypool owns a Rickenbacker (Geddy's his biggest influence) as well, so technically, it really IS the official Ric hat.

Pictures are coming. Hold on a few minutes.

Dangit! I tried to upload all my pictures and I finally figured it out and then it turns out that all my pictures are too large (they're all 640x480) so now I have to resize them. Pictures are pending, I swear!

Nice photos Nate, Bob and Paul.

I like the black plastic on the Geddy Special, Nate.

Thanks about the black plastic, Jeff.
Actually, if I get a 4003, I'm putting black plasic on that, and making my 4001 into a Geddy bass... schaller tuners, bad *** bridge... so what if the other forumites think it's crazy. It's my bass, and I want a Geddy tribute. I also want a Geddy J, but that's another story.

I don't.

Geddy's bass sounded a shedload better as a result.

Go for it.

Don't worry, she was polished very thoroughly afterwards!
