Actually, my thumb is resting on the edge of the pickguard--it just feels right to anchor it there when I play bass, unless I'm using a pick....

Ah, that dates you (and me). Right around the time of "Roundabout" being on the radio, if memory serves. 1971-ish. I was in the USAF at Hanscom Field, MA as base photographer. One of the guys in the lab had a few of the National Lampoon mags that were passed around.

"Roundabout" was MY introduction to Chris Squire and Rickenbacker Basses!!!!! Still LOVE both to this day!!!!!!

Ian, are you running ROS with 6x10 and 2x15? Seems like I might be able to hear your next gig if I just stick my head out of the window at the right time (assuming an east wind, of course).
Can we have everything louder than everything else?

Hi. Yes it's 6x10 + 2x15.
I don't use ROS. Perhaps I should try it.
I don't use the Rics at every show.

I just have a 4-way splitter box - 1 in / 2 out to Trace Elliots / 1 out to Hartke rig.

The g*itar is a Musicman of some description.
The white bass is an Eastwood Classic 4.
