Of course, he needs another one! Say, in MG?

Why, I don't know WHAT you are talking about, Jeff!

I like the conversion. Not really suitable for fingerstyle i.m.h.o., but I mainly play with plectrum. I do need another, my 4004 Cii BBR will get the same treatment. I allready have the 5 string Schaller bridge (in black). But I am not sure yet about where the tuners will be. I do not like them this way, and I also do not like the Rath way. I might prefer the conventional way even with some black holes in between in the end. Not sure yet........

Hi All,

Here's me with my v63

I put a Lollar horseshoe in it and it sounds fantastic. (hope them's not fighting words here!)

My first Ric, a 1976 (IIRC) 4001. Picture taken 1988.

Nice V, Keith!

...now I know why there is a lower cut away!

Good one, Peter. I was trying to think of something along that line.

Hopefully you're lucky enough to still have the bass AND the girl, Scott!

Welcome,new RRF members! Nice action shot and V63,Keef! Armybass,your bass looks a lot like my '74 4000.

I broke out my fretless '74 4001 and '62 B-22 Supersonic amp for last night's recording session. I'm finally done with bass tracks for the band's new album. All of my tracks were recorded with the B-22, but I used a Road Worn P Bass with flats for most of the songs, subbing a Charles Cote 5 string on one. I also doubled about half the tracks tic-tac style with a Fender Jaguar 6 string bass through a Fender Twin.

Nice!
Eric,u look a bit like Helmutt Hattler from the 70's in that pic.

So, how do you add a pic ??
