Probably cheaper than roasting a bag of marshmallows...

Doesn't that look a little like Jeff Rath?....

Sort of looks like a cat in that flame...

Lighter fluid on a cymbal? I knew a guy who used to do that during the early 70's (before I played with him, haha!)

Everytime we have used the pyros there is a momentary feeling panic that I am in the wrong place. I look at that picture and realize just how awfully close I was to getting flash-fried.

Welcome to the family Alan! With that beautiful 4001 why do you need that Jazz appliance thingy in the background?

For what I sunk into that thing to make it sound the way my 4001 sounds bone stock I HAVE to keep it.

I only use it on one song. I hope that's OK...

Ignore it, Alan.

Jazz basses are brilliant.

There have been many times I've chosen my Jazz over a 4001/3, simply because they're Jazz basses.

Exactly. You can't tell me that every gigging bassist on this forum plays/owns Rics exclusively.

Not the best way to get a Fireglo Ric!

I'm working on it! I just recently sold my American Vintage Jazz Bass, but the Zon I'm keeping.

Martin says..

It may have turned out to be a Fire Marshall Bob signature edition.

I play Ricks exclusively too! If I break a string I don't want to pick up some other brand that will just feel different. As the singer, too, it is important to have a consistant feel with regard to the bass guitars. And.. there is no tone that I cannot get on my Ricks whether I need low end or high for any particular song.

Cool pic, Jay.

Ditto. That one should be on the album cover!
