I love my v63.
Sounds more Ric than every other Ric i have owned.
Sorry about the 4001 in the picture.

Great photos, everyone. Keep 'em coming.

They're almost as cool as having both Ted Staberow AND Chris Pappas posting on the Forum again! 'Ello lads!

Kind of "V-ish"

Metin, I will always regret not buying that V63 when it was available.

I only hope that another comes along soon!

Hey Trotty, I recently saw some Youtube vids featuring you and Howard on guitars. Great stuff! Of course you could not resist the urge to slip in behind the drum kit too.

Let me check the calendar . . . no, it's definitely 2009, but with Jim Glen, Dave Pascoe, Ted Staberow, and Chris Pappas on board I would swear it's 2005 again! Great to "see" you all again.

it must be because of the V63s attraction

hello dave! nice grouping! in your pic,the bass 2nd from the left,is that a refin? that is a really nice looking 'burst,but it does look atypical of ric finishes....in a good way,mind you...

Thanks Paul,
It's definitely nice to be back.

V63's have a Siren call all of their own, very very alluring !

And here's a pic of my 1992 FG V63 formerly owned by Jim Glen. Haven't got around to taking any good pics of it yet. I used the V63 as a size reference in this pic when I was trying to sell my big ol' Cerwin Vega:

I'm not as enthralled with my V63's as some here. I find that my 4003S's are superior in tone and playability. I like the way the V63's look so I keep trying, but so far the ugly duckling wins!

#1,brian,that is exactly what i want to do with my v63. mapleglo with gold plastic-fantastic! if you can,please post a HUGE picture of your bass!

4003S's are ugly? NOT!
