21 Fretted Bassess - Stand up and be counted!

[Ric N. Backer]

So how about it? Care to post a pic of your 21-fret Ric so we can see which one's really do exist?

2011 is the year of the 21-fretter!

Detailed discussion (whatever that means) encouraged, too.

Here are two. I don't own the FG anymore.




This one celebrates it's 40th birthday this month!

#13 for january, 1970...the "crawlspace bass" !

text posted elsewhere..."crawlspace bass" is exactly that. she was found under my drummer's rented house in scarborough, ontario. it was owned by his brother. sadly, had to toss the original case as it was badly destroyed by mold and mildew. the mapleglo finish was mostly eaten away by this mold, but did not affect the maple much. i got her for $250.00 cdn. in 1984. used her for one show in bradford, ontario soon after and decided to retire her for a while ( still retired) as she did not have the output that my '64 and '68 had. (this was a band just before the DWaRfS) she's still in the wood awaiting time to be laquered.

That looks nice, Ron! Is everything there? How is it structurally?

[BAD RONBO, KiLLeR DWaRfS]

perfect. modified the tailpiece, as on my '64 and '68, to accept the post '73 saddle bridge for better intonation and replaceable parts. re-did the both of the headstock wings as the treble side walnut was the same color as the maple. installed reverse mid '70's klusons as the grovers sucked poo-poo as they kept falling apart !

Do 4002's count?

But of course they do. Any Ric Bass qualifies.

Post away my good man.

Ah, the old exploding Grovers!

Not, if JingleJangle fixed them!

Do 4002's count?

They sure do! We don't see 4002's often enough!

Any Ric Bass qualifies.
