I love the tone Priest is getting on his 4001. THAT'S the sound that used to get me kicked out of bands back in the 70's!

A Rickenbacker bass is much like the Jaguar E car - perennially ultra-fashionable.

Sweet was my first favorite rock band when I was a kid. YES came shortly after. Funny, when I was a kid, I never made the connection that both Steve & Chris played Ricks. Anybody know what kind of amp Steve was using in that 'Turn It Down' video?

Hey Gerry - No; don't actually play them. I just like to pretend I do since they're such the potent chick magnet.

no, this isn't me, but I found a Ric 3001 being played on one of my all-time fave rave songs - Blondie's IN THE FLESH

hmmm, there must be some confusion here ... I thought she was singing it to ME!

I think the one in that video is a jetglo version of this:
