Is that a custom job? It looks like a cross between Burgundy and Fireglo.

No. I'm sure it's the lighting, or the poor picture quality, that makes it look so.

I knew that was going to be that clip of 'Turn It Down' before I even clicked on it. I love that tone. Strangely enough I was listening to Desolation Boulevard (the imported version with that song on it) on my way into work this morning.
Steve Priest is the reason I bought my first Rick.

A song written by a soundman about a bass player!

Like a cement mixer with metal rocks inside, and gravel thrown in between the gears.

I think that may be too much clank for even me!

That's the "parity" of the Ric sound. Oh, they look like Judas Priest at a Halloween Party. Glam, no wonder it died.
