RIC in (U.S.) TV Commercial

Post by firstbassman »

I noticed this for the first time this evening.
In the commercial for AT&T where the guy calls the girl the day after they met...
In the shots with him, look at the rear center of the room he's in. There's a Jetglo RIC bass (or a copy of course) standing up (or leaning) on the floor.

My apologies if this was already mentioned.

No apologies necessary, but yes, it's been brought up a couple of times. I like their ads. The latest one has a girl with her pierced boyfriend calling her parents from Vegas. The mother flippantly suggests they didn't get married, did they? Then dead air. The mother looks around, then admonishes, "Don't make the same mistake I did!"

Sorry. Should have thought it would have been.

Yes, the Vegas one is very good.

haha yea I just noticed that yesterday! Ricks seem to show up fairly often in these AT&T commercials.
A little pain never hurt anyone.
