Michael Anthony with a RIC on Stage?

Post by atomic_punk »

This clip is from 1984 and it looks like a Rick, but with different pickups, anyone have any idea what the heck this is?

the youtube link thing doesn't show on my computer for some reason.
Look at about 50 seconds in during the chorus when they show him singing.

Delano pickups, maybe, with taped stripes on the body?

Steve, only put the code after the = in the bracketed code when you click the youtube box. VLB7g-kG-rU Just that. Then it turns out like Kira posted.

If I remember correctly, you get a quick glimpse of the b/w Rick in the video for Jump. I also read somewhere that he owns/owned a really early Rick, like a '57 or something.

Pretty much and guitar book that has a photo of an early 4000 is showing MA's bass.

IIRC he has the 3rd one ever made.
