You rang?
Yep I play upside-down, or backwards, or whatever you wanna call it. Learned to play on a "borrowed" righty bass, and by the time I got my own I was used to playing that way(big string on bottom). Here's my 340LH:

Pure magic, Paul. Isn't that what Rics are all about?

Howard says: "Crikey, Lawton!! That thing looks like a ukulele on you!!"

Yep, a bit... And guess what?! It sorta sounds like a uke as well! One of the things that attracted Johnny (Lennon) to the 325 was how much like a BANJO it felt -- and he learned Banjo before he learned guitar.

I'm on the left playing my jetglo 360. Our singer Chris is in the middle playing his fireglo 360. The second picture is from our gig last year at the Royal Albert Hall (taken from the very back !)supporting Ronnie Wood and Paul Weller. I'm on the left playing my Jetglo 360.
Our band is called Small World - www.smallworldnet.co.uk

Wow. I'm starstruck! One quick question, non-Rick related:

Does Ronnie ever play that Deusenberg guitar that he endorses?

On that occasion he played a beat-up old strat and a Gibson accoustic - see picture below:

Well then, cool - I've uploaded photos on VT using an image hosting site, but I didn't realize you could do them from your hard drive on this board. That's easier.

Here's a shot of Ric number two :
