I just got home from the Chicago edition of the 4 Amigos show with a new MB 660/12 from Dave's. (What a gentleman!) I was able to sell off my 1980 4001 and a Steinberger bass to make this a no net cost deal.

I have wanted a 660/12 for years, so this is a happy day!

I was expecting to see another MB (Montezuma Brown) 660/12 like my own '04, but instead I spy this gorgeous MID (Midnight Blue) beauty. Congrats, Ken!

I wish RIC would use that wider 660/12 neck on another body style.... like a 360 for instance.

You and me both, Kent - I do think Ric could make an obscene number of wider necked 330 and 360s.
650D, 660/12
Non-Ric: Precision 5, Sterling 4H, Stingray 5H, Bongo 5H, ThunderChief 5 x 2, L-1000, SG, Godin A6 & A12

"Obscene number" = 2? :wink:
