Yikes!

Hey! She's starting to grow on me.

There is a strange primordial Pavlov response to that shape.

Man, I gotta start getting out more.

I know the feeling, and I'm right there with you...I HAVE to get out more too...

Hmmm, and most of complained about the RIC bridge! LOOK at THIS ONE! Simple elegance in design Image
Why waste time intonating ONE string at a time?

Um...er......aaah......they told me it was a "Lemmy".

Came with a certificate, # 61. Only $15,000, case was extra, plus shipping.

Offers, death threats, trades, medications?

I like the innovative middle-of-the-strings thumb rest on the vintage sand cast style bridge.
Listen to that sustain!

I remember seeing that bass - or an identical one - a couple years back. Also, I remember commenting on it - "Looks like a kid's bass project. You're gonna go places, kid!". I believe it is a Kay. Anyone?
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.
