Yep, Rob. It's a disease there is no cure for (although I'm told removal of both arms reduces the symptoms!).

Well done with the two Ricks - I bought two newies in the last month and I'm in heaven.

May there be many more for all of us!

Absolutely right Howard. I've had a few days "throwing it around" now and I just get more and more impressed everytime I plug it in. Why aren't Rics used more widely than they are?? Mind you, that's part of what makes them so cool I suppose.

I agree, Robert...we feel like being part of an "elite"... how do you feel when you see on stage someone else playing a rick bass/guitar? Don't you feel a little bit jealous..considering yourself the only one who's supposed to be a rick player in town?

Depends who it is I guess Francesco. I saw Interpol a few weeks back (one of my favourite bands of the moment) and the lead guy used a 330 for some of the set which I thought was really cool. But I can also remember seeing Phil Collins on TV a few years back with a nice 360 and my foot nearly went through the screen!

Francesco, I feel more like kinship than jealousy or envy. It's more like, "Yeah! He (she) gets it too!"
