Every time I get a Ric off of ebay ...

[jwr2]

Ric player and owners and collectors are a different breed ... for instance ... it is considered cool to have a beat up fender ... but it is cooler to have a 9/10 Ric or better yet a mint one ...

I love these Rics but I get ****** when I get something that is ten years old and it is in worse shape than my 35 year old bass ...

One of these days I will have to buy a new one ...
