Petty, Petty, Where for art thou Mr Petty 12?

Post by rich_briere »

Greetings guys and gals,

I thought that I'd stop by and update you on my ongoing crisis. I continue to search for my dream 12 and although I like its particular body shape the least, it appears that the Petty is the only Ric 12 that I'll ever stand a chance of being able to play. The quest now becomes "finding one" and asking you, the "Knights of the 12-Table", if the Petty stays in tune any better than the others? Your input is, as always, greatly appreciated. :^>)

Bass-ically Yours,
Rich Briere

What about a new 660/12? Same specs.

John, you're a man with an illness . :^>) Take two aspirin and send me one of your 660's in the morning! Very enjoyable and your "torture" is appreciated.

Bass-ically Yours,
Rich
