Hey Bob. Nice, another 21 fretter. There are pics on the Web of Ray Bennett (Flash) and Leo Lyons (10 Years After) playing Mapleglo 21 fretters.
A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Yes, Flash were cool. And ANYONE playing a 21 fret 4001 has impeccable taste.Image

No but seriously....I have never heard of Flash with Peter Banks. What are the names of the albums? Does anyone want to burn me a cd or two or send me mass quantities of mp3s? Image

Well, "Flash" (1972), "Flash in the can" (1972), and "Out of our hands" (1973).
