I used my '86 4003S in 1987-1989 doing the "Hair" thing!4003 wrote:Well, I used my brand new '86 4003 in my hair band "Dream Warriors" in 1987-1989. And yes, we took our name from the Dokken song. Good times.....marc61 wrote:Yeah, that'd be a sparse thread. Hair bands that used Ric basses
I've got a picture around here somewhere to prove it, too!

My band was all about the Spandex. I had the purple and black zebra-striped pants. Each one of us had a different color combination. NICE.

My band in the 80's played stuff from the 60's and 70's mostly, with some 80's stuff from the Stones, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray and a few others in the same vein. I totally rejected all the hair bands. Didn't want to see, hear, or have anything to do with them.
Yeah, it probably cost me my 15 minutes of fame (not!) but at least the old photos won't turn up to haunt me when I run for president!

I did it, but I didn't like it. Chalk it up to peer pressure from my friends! 
Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls!

There are a few photos of the band floating around. The thing I am worried about is I know one show was video taped by the lead guitarist's girlfriend. I keep expecting to find it on Youtube or Facebook.

I was surprised. Thought this one went kinda cheap.

Hi, Bob. Seriously, I'll take that as a compliment, teehee!
As for the 1986 4003 at issue huh... Everything on it looks "normal", except for the one-piece pickguard
What gives?
