Dave, I've been to that shop..Guitar Villa isn't it? I didn't know he had so many older basses. I remember one 4000 in the store when I was up there, a 59 or 60 model...

Here's my Ric Collection:

Talk about inadequate! More like unacceptable!!!!

"I didn't know he had so many older basses."

John, Erik would know better than me, (he lived closer to the stores), but that collection was one of the largest in this area.

It put mine to shame for sure..

Guitar Villa it is. They were from his personal collection, so they were never in the store for sale.

Putting Dave's Ric collection to shame is really saying something.

Baker's dozen:

I really need to update this picture with the 4003 BB, the 4003SPC Shadow, and the 4003S/5 SPC "semi-Blackstar" ...

Gary, the sad thing is that you don't even play bass, is that right?

OK, here's mine - note the two in the prime position front and center... Oh, and yes, the red one has been sold...

Yet, there are still more

Steve, you are right, I'm just a hack bass player.

Group shots become more difficult with each acquisition. Some day I will try to get a group shot of my 6- and 12-string guitars, too ...

"Group shots become more difficult with each acquisition"

Gary, I don't think I have ever seen a picture with more than 12 guitars, that looks good.

Thanks Dave. I used Quickstich, a program that also came with my Olympus D-400Z, to stitch together four partial pictures to get one big panoramic shot. When the pictures are taken correctly and thus overlap right, the stitched panorama looks great.

Sorry guys, I haven't been around for a few days since my post in Ken's disappointed with RIC thread was deleted. I don't know if Peter has me on probation, what ever.

In answer to your questions and comments, the basses in that photo were at one time owned by John Slog. I sold John my Mapleglo 68 4001 and he gave me a print of his old collection, along with a pile of money.

That was 13 years ago. I sold my 68 to John because I was always playing my 1988 4001v63 which I prefered to the 68 at the time.

Here's photo of my 68 just before I packed it up and sent it off to John. Sorry for the **** photo.
