I like that last shot, but she really has her eye on the guy behind you, sorry to say!

Re: Post of picture of you PLAYING your ric
Rare happening last Friday - someone actually pointed the camera at me instead of our photogenic singer! It will probably never happen again so I thought I'd put it up. I've only just started using the Ric for gigs again - '04 4003, TI flats, Laney RB8 with an extra 15" speaker, EQ dead flat, both tones at about 3/4, bridge volume full and neck wound back a fraction, and a nice fat nylon pick. Sounds good to me....

Nice shot, but why is the bass amp in front of you?

Looks like a White 4001 with black binding and plastic. Classic!

I had bought this new-fangled bass called a Musicman Stingray but wasn't digging it much, when I walked in the shop and they had this Ric, which was my dream bass, went home, grabbed my new Musicman, even trade.

Shop owner might have thought it was an even trade, but I think you ended up with the best end of that deal!iamthebassman wrote:I had bought this new-fangled bass called a Musicman Stingray but wasn't digging it much, when I walked in the shop and they had this Ric, which was my dream bass, went home, grabbed my new Musicman, even trade.
Turn on, tune up, rock out!

Re: Post of picture of you PLAYING your ric
While going through some old photos, I came across some old pix (about 20 years old) of me playing my long-gone white 4080. No laughing at the white slacks - I was young & clueless, and it was the '80s. I also had a 4080 in mapleglo around the same time, but I haven't come across any pix of it yet. Man, do I wish I had either one of them back...
