Who is this mystery man?

Post by 8mileshigh »

And what's he holding? Just a bit of fun on a Tuesday afternoon. Sorry for the bad quality camera phone pic.

Clue..... he is a forum member from the USA.

Ahh that was too easy! Great to meet up with Mike whilst he was in London and spend a couple of hours talking about Ricks and other less important things Image

Aha! Here's where you posted this, Graham. Although the photo is from a cel phone camera it wouldn't have helped me out much if it were a quality digital camera, unfortunately. It was fun meeting up with you, Graham. Peter - we missed you!

Graham - do you want to really cause havoc on this forum and post a photo of the other bass?

Oh, by the way, that's a MG 4005 WB! The nicest condition one I've seen since the John Entwistle 2003 Sothebys Auction.

The real question is: What is Mike doing with a '60s 4005WB in a motel room that he was caught on cam with a devilishly sly grin? Image

Make you guys bring cameras to the confluence. Should be a lot of rare/cool RICs.
