Here is mine, a '72 MG that I tried to "refinish" myself after I bought it used in '75:

Now, after a refit by Ted Staberow and refinish by Paul Wilczynski, it looks like this:

My first was a new '81 4001 Jetglo.
'81 4001JG with '76 Fender Precision and Yamaha Bass Amp

I really wish I still had it. :cry: I traded it in for a new '81 4003 Jetglo...which I did not like.

Gigging with my first Rick:
Gig at Characters in New Rochelle, NY - August '81

They were really good sounding, well built amps. They were just kind of heavy and awkward for just having one handle placed on the top.

Jeremy,
Congradulations on your first Ric Bass.
Waiting for some pics.
Great time to acquire a Ric bass because anytime is good for a new Rick bass :D
...went in to buy a 52' Tele and walked out with a 360 Jetglo...
