Another rule, CJ....... confuse the punters so that questions have to be asked. :twisted:

Ah, I see!

Hmm, well, I suppose it's only right to add my own bit of confusion... or maybe admit to some... and update everyone on my new Rick...

First off, the case. It's definitely wider than any of my others... Heavier too...

OK, it looks too short to be a bass... am I right?

Oh, and speaking of strings, I think I mentioned mine has a lot of 'em. In fact, I'm just not sure what to make of this thing. On one neck :shock: there's a whole bunch of those little skinny ones... :shock: :mrgreen:

Um... uh...
So far, this thread is pretty much just you and me. I guess nobody else wants to play... :(

Oh, and that neck that has lots of strings? It's got a lot, kinda hard to count all of 'em! More than 6, for sure...

OK fine. My new Rick has 26 strings. Yep, that's right, 26. Any guesses?

It's a Mapleglo 4080 with a spare set of strings for the 12 string. That's my guess CJ. :mrgreen:
