I've had the same problems with my pics, and this one doesn't get old, that's a really nice flock of Ricks !!!

Ummm .... the one on the left looks like it's been bad ***'d !!!

The loss of resolution is caused by how Jpeg compression works to reduce the image, in the end you're actually "dumping" pixels from the original that shows as a poorer image when reduced.

Thanks, Jim, all is now clear.

Yes, the one on the left is my first Ric, a '77 I received in trade for a guitar I didn't like. It's been bad assed, brass nutted, fretboard stripped, dinged, chipped, and otherwise "relic-ed" by who knows how many previous owners. It has a nice slim neck, though; every time I see Ted S. work his miracles I get big ideas about this bass, but for now it sits in it's case of many stickers.

while the Jetglo is rarer than FG, I'll take a beautifully figured, slightly yellowing, checkerboard, full width MOP, split tail FG anyday!

just like Jeff's

IMHO

Here is a pic of my V63 and the famous "nekkid" Ampeg V63. Sorry about the ****** quality.

I love my V63, but would love it a bit more if it were black. Yup, it's a color thing!

So I take it you can't remote host images here?

nice!

Jared,
Ampeg B15 ?
I've considered getting one, I love the tones from my B-25 which is built on same design, how do you like the B-15 with your Rick's ??

Jim-

That's Peter's B-15.

Here's my Ampegs...



I actually enjoy my SB-12 thru a MESA cab better than the B-15 thru its ported JBL E140 cab. The JBL gives more of a 'ring' to the hi-gain p'ups but the ported cab does not do justice to a tight bottom. The EDEN cab w/2x10 or Aguilar 112 each have their own tone-just depends what I'm after. I do have a B-25 head but its running 7027's vs the 6L6's of the B-15.

Similar but different.

IMHO that is...

Thanks Jared, I appreciate the input, I love my B-25, but I've had a hankering for a B-15 for a while, I'm currently looking at one that has a 2x15 cabinet below it rather than the 1x15 you see in most.

That is a B-18, fellas. It's the B-15's bigger brother. She is a single 18" combo. Must have spent some time in a barn, because there were feathers in it when I got it.

So, I gather I don't have any takers on the V63 swap idea?

A refin is just plain out, as I would be losing my butt on it. I have a '76 4001 in Mapleglo that I am wanting to turn into a Jetglo, also.

I have owned at least two Jetglo's over the years, but have always sold them. I have always regretted it, too!

I have a spare jetglo 79 AND 80??

Spare as in send this way for free !!!

There again they're only Jetglo ...
hehehe !!!!

My '76 has pickups from a man with an very Italian name (who shall not be mentioned here) currently installed. I have the original neck pickup, a 4003 unit for the bridge and the non-working original brigde pickup. I shall be restoring the 4001 to original soon, and would be keen on trading it for a better color.

Sorry, no Fireglo except for the 4000

All the more reason for me to get Shaun's Jetglo 4000, then we can swap, this way you get all Jetglo, and I get all Firerglo ...

sounds like a plan
