I just saw this movie promo shot featuring a certain instrument that some here may be familiar with!

Looks like a good movie too.

Well, I've never seen a bad movie starring Michael Cera....so this should go down alright.

Maybe some free advertising..... or maybe he had to pay for it! Regardless it's out there!! Maybe John has a cameo in the flick... like Hitchcock used to do..... :wink:

Product placement - always a good thing. All I can say is: He'd better be using a Rick in the actual movie, too.

Nah, you didn't void the warranty, you just need tough guy strings, like D'Addario's. :lol:

I'm personally even more excited that the hero's playing a bass instead of a glory-boy guitar.

I saw the Rick in the official trailer, too, so it's almost certainly in the movie. This is one of a few recent graphic novel movies that I've been looking forward to, and the Rick was a pleasant surprise.
