Another wonder: a marshall amp, looks like a bunch of old rock 'n rollers to me, haha!

There is a pair of those Marshall Acoustic series amps on that stage although myself and the guitarist pictured would be the only ones to qualify as old R&R's. Mandolin, rhythm and dobro players always have been and always will be bluegrass and country folk.

I love bluegrass, love the harmonies. I had a Ricky Skaggs tune out in Lima and everyone that heard it was amazed. I forgot the name but it was a blazing bluegrass type tune with a bunch of very fast solos, was a very big hit some years ago. Country Boy?

(Posting this on behalf of Jeff Thomas) -

The photos are (sort of a before and after I guess) of me playing my first Rick (Whitey!) in 1985, and me playing Tim's Sea Green v63 in 2003.

Nice stuff Jeff! Just like my white 1979 4001. Well... mine yellowed. Beauty V63!

Thanks again Ilan-

One of these days, (probably 50 years from now!) I'll get myself up to speed with 21st century technology.

Thanks Marc. That was the one (Whitey)I bought when I was 15 with money saved from painting houses! (Damn kids...blowing their college money!) I think I'm playing ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man! Unfortunately it has been a long time since Whitey looked so nice. He's now an offensive shade of Mucasglo with a peeling clearcoat on the fretboard and around one MILLION finish checks! (Enter Mike Dolan?)

The Sea Green belonged to Tim Sarter. (so I guess technically I shouldn't have posted it on a thread named "post a picture of you playing YOUR ric" as it was never MINE, but what the heck!) As for the goofy s#@t-eating grin on my face...well that's just what happens to you when you play a Sea Green Rick!

Enjoy!

Is this a LH CS?

Yes, a '91. There's an '80 4003LH on a stand just out of the frame.

Ronn, you rock...

Nice one Ronn!
Never seen a lefty CS. Was it a special order?

iamthebassman · Post by **iamthebassman** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 6:45 am

Nope, bought it new, off the rack at Southpaw Guitars for $1000.
In '92 I had seen it at a guitar show here in Austin, a few months later on a Friday afternoon I got a $1000 bonus, next morning I drove the 4 hours from Austin to Houston and it was mine.

is that strung backwards or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Yes.
