roger Mcguinn & some nice RIC content....

Post by ajish4 »

Well, sort of!

Jdog & I are off to see Roger McGuinn..

Something to make all RIC players happy!

Those of you with "younger eyes", I can't seem to make out what RIC bass Chris Hillman is playing.... a V-63? I can see the walnut ears but not much else.

Great vid! I like the slower tempo, too. I am going to suggest this to my band as we are doing this song already.

Looks like a C64S with the shoes off. The upper horn looks sanded.

This clip is ancient, the C64S wasn't around yet. 4001v63 MG, methinks. See also the (then-) contemporary photo of the three of them from the original Byrds box set.

Looks like a V63 to me too. The headstock is not upside down as the C64 would have.
It sounds great also! Definitely not buried in the mix.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

There is a thread down in the Byrds forum about that bass. One of our fellow formites has had that bass in his possession if I remember right.
