Ricks to the bass 10

Post by bassduke49 »

Twisted math, I suppose. Anyway, here is the current fleet. Shot pics today on the back deck on a soggy day, but good light. A little dappled reflection of the sky through the big ol' Silver Maple. From left: '97 4001V63 Fireglo, '93 4004C Cheyenne (VVT mod), '00 4003 Sea Green, '02 4003 Desert Gold, '02 4003 Burgundy, '04 4003VP Montezuma Brown (Hipshot bridge, Pickguardian pickup surround and signature pickguard), '07 4003 Amber Fireglo, '07 4003 75th Anniversary Edition Dark Cherry Metallic, '72 4001 "Mink," and '97 4004L Laredo Fireglo (VVT mod).

Great pic, Paul! Was your 660/12 cowering in a corner at the time?

Thanks, guys. Yeah, the 660/12 MB looked out of place with all those 4-bangers. So would the three Hofner Beatle basses. Gotta get a wider lens.

Hey Paul, did you intend to take any pics at the confluence? Should I take that backdrop with me?
