How many gigging Ric-sters?
Moderators: rickenbrother, ajish4
I do mostly pickup gigs now, blues, my last band was a cover/original rock a billy, blues/ punk type band. This was a few years ago. It was and still is a power trio. very loud band, I used An old SVT with two cabs, used a variety of Rics, V63's, 4003's and 4001's. I recorded an album of all original material in the early nineties with a 4001FL with Rotosound half rounds on it. The music was kind of a cross between hip country and David Byrne, kind of punky and new wavey. I brought a 68 P Bass and my Ric to the session along with a miked SVT and asked the engineer which he liked better and he liked both so of course I played the Ric.
I use flat wounds most of the time now, I get a much cleaner sound with them, no mud, I can use the treble pickup more with flats which cleans up the sound, gives them that low-mid punch that sounds so nice.
