He used to advertise himself as the world's fastest bassist back in the early 80's.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: Tapping on a Ric
Victor uses them, too. Though he's a little more frugal - he uses a hair scrunchee.tomersg wrote:what's the device that he has on the headstock?

Very like a stick. He should do a "bass off" against Tony Levin, Rick vs Stick....bassduke49 wrote:Kinduva Chapman Stick thing. Interesting.

Don Schiff does an outstanding job on the NS Stick. Check him out on youtube. I had an NS for about a year, but
it wasn't my cup of tea. I sold it and bought my Rick and I couldn't be happier!
