Larry Graham and the 4005

Owen, that's probably the "super-deluxe" pickguard for slappers....

Wouldn't that make it a 'slapguard'?

"in an article on the P-Funk bass players, they showed one of them used a Ric too.. "

It was Cordell "Boogie" Mosson. I also saw a picture of Betty Davis' band bassist Larry Johnson with a 4001. BTW, Betty Davis' first album is a great funkrock record. Superb bass playing by Larry Graham and Doug Rauch (one track only).

Thanks for the heads-up! Man, I would have loved including a photo of Larry with the 4005 in my video.

Hi Everyone -
Finally! Here's a photo of Larry Graham playing a Rickenbacker 4005 WB when Sly Stone appeared on The Andy Williams Show in 1970.

Could be just the poor video quality, but it looks like the pickguard may have modified.
