I'll believe it when I see pics......until then I will offer my "congrats" which I will retract if pics aren't posted promptly.

....good choice on the FireGlo BTW.

Geez, you've got double the number of basses than me and you're not even my age . . . I must say, though, the Ric is GORGEOUS. I really like the pinkish fireglo that they have these days rather than the more orange-y fireglos. And the figuring on the headstock is beautiful. I bet it sounds awesome.

sabbath_of_bass · Post by **sabbath_of_bass** » Tue Dec 27, 2005 5:41 pm

Yeah I was really impressed with the headstock. And I was surprised the sides and the neck still had the burst effect. Oh and the neck is nothing like the ones I played before. Its not big really at all. Great feel. Im so excited. Ill probly be sitting here playing all night. It does sound great. Im just sad cause my parents went to bed and I cant play at the moment on my real amp. Just on a little practice amp

. Oh well theres always tomorrow.

Love the pink bedspread.........

That's a really nice one Jacob, congrats and enjoy it. The flamey ears on that headstock are as nice as walnut ones.

That is a beautiful bass Jacob. I especially like the flamed maple! My first Rick was a Fireglo too. I bought it pretty much exactly 30 years ago.

how's the Dean 5 string bass?

rickfan60 · Post by **rickfan60** » Tue Dec 27, 2005 6:32 pm

What, no 4-2-5 conversion suggestion Jeff?

sabbath_of_bass · Post by **sabbath_of_bass** » Tue Dec 27, 2005 6:38 pm

I dig it. Im not much on 5strings. Its not the best Iv ever played either. But Its alot better then most Iv played. Also cost alot less. I havent played many tho. Over all I like it and think it was worth it.

BOUT F*CKING TIME!
Congrats! Sorry I was late.
It's purdy. I play my Rick though a practice amp too, so don't feel left out.

sabbath_of_bass · Post by **sabbath_of_bass** » Tue Dec 27, 2005 7:28 pm

Haha Nate. You like it? I thought it was perdy. Im so glad its fireglo too. Tomorrow Ill get to play it on the big amp. Should be fun. I really wana hear it on that amp. I only really heard it on Chips studio. Sounded great there

. Now I just have to figure out this blasted recording machine. This Xmas kicked ***.
