I'd had a couple of beers in number 9, IIRC

Abomination? I see three Ricks. Did I miss something? Is the fence not installed correctly? What?

All these white Rics is not good for one's financial health....

Ted, I have yet to assign a nickname to my Plain Jane 330.

But I'm open to suggestions.

But that is such a harsh name for so elegant an instrument.

Andrew, those are some sharp basses! I can't get enough of the dot neck S styles... How about some history on the emerald green burst. Is that a factory original?

It's all in good fun, Ted. The BronzeGlo Abomination© is at least as loved as any other of my thundersticks, probably more so.

How do you think this makes me feel?
Im the fool that sold DH163!
I am having the neck slimmed down on my V63 in the New Year and I am seriously thinking of going Wints white plus striped headstock this time.

I will live vicariously thru your V63 mod.

Pete,

I've been kicking around slimming my V63 down too. Are you doing front to back, the width, or both?

I love the white, but the maple on mine is too nice.

Thanks guys. Just trying to keep the gallery happy...

Jim, it's not a factory finish. It was refinished sometime in the 70's in the UK. If you like green (I do..) then it's a great looking bass. It has a 4 piece body, which you don't see very often and the upper horn has been shaped, but, overall, a very cool example of a 60's Ric bass.

Pete, good to see you here! Don't be too hard on yourself...There was no vintage market then!
Get the V done and show us the results!

Teeder, I agree. You shouldn't really cover wood that good. The 67 S I have will stay MG for the same reason.

Good choice Andy. That S will look great when you get it done!

Wints, that will be yet another bass to die for that YOU own, not that I'm jealous or anything....
