Which is sort of a strange irony because I passed on the JG4001 to look for a 60s Rick like Squires and when I eventually got one in the late 70s it turned out to be Maurice Gibbs....who used to live in Keppel Road in the house next door to my mates flat!

My 1st wife has all the photos of the RM in action and my 1968 Tele Bass which I have no pics of.
I have no idea where she is and I just hope the darts are only aimed at me not the guitars in the pictures.

By another strange coincidence my daughter has a friend at university who lives....in the former Gibb house on Keppel Road!

Needless to sat there will be a few photos of my white CS at that address!

It's a small world sometimes...

Always good to hear that one again Pete.

It would be cool if that Jazz turned up someday as well...

As much as I love my RIcks, the FL Warwick growls like no other (slight overdrive through a Gallien-Krueger):



And yes, cassius: Poor right arm technique on my part. Here, I'm playing by the fingerboard and trying to avoid "clack" when doing so. A pre-emptive strike on my part.

Rocking a Jazzmaster:

This shot is from a Halloween Party (1983, I think?) at McMurdo Station: ...with mid 60's Telecaster through a 150 watt Galien Kruger. Note the 'Death Flight 13' armband hanging from the headstock, a souvenier of an earlier season. A group of us flew out that year on a C-130 on Friday the 13th, and my friend Killer and I made ceremonial armbands out of black crevasse marker flags. We wore them around town for a week, but on flight day we were warned by the Navy that anyone wearing a 'DF 13' armband would not be permitted on the plane. Them pilots are a superstitious bunch...

Here's a couple of shots from the Texas Hill Country Jam that I attended a couple of weeks ago.

John,

I've been eyeballing one of those for MONTHS...I can't figure out the differences between the models!

Pefroming Abbey Road, Halloween night. The Paul was the perfect guitar for this album. Someone asked me if any of the guitar sounds were sampled.

Here're some pics of me before I got my Ric, and when the band was still a six-piece instead of the eight of us there are today.

I'm the one with the ibanez bass (which wasn't really right for our sound at all).


Promo shot.


Wettest gig ever. We thought we might die. (note the multi effects pedal as I was trying to change my sound to something less ibanezzy)


Playing the 'church' at indietracks festival this summer.


Taken during the same gig by our drummer.

With my 2003 MIA Fender Jazz, hot rodded a bit, sold it a year or two ago after I got tired of the way the neck felt:



I also had a nice 1999 Stingray but after I got into Rics I decided its tone was too "thin" by comparison. I never like the mids response on this bass. Another one my first Ric killed, and my second and third replaced.



At my grandma's footpump organ! It's still with us:

Is that yours Rob?
