Yep, I bought if off of Dave. I was in PA visiting my family for Thanksgiving and took a little trip south to see his great collection and buy the bass.

Rics:
370 FG VP (2004)
370/12 MG VP (2002)

Others:
Fender Telecaster Thinline -'69 reissue
Fender Jaguar (Sunburst) -'62 reissue
Gibson SG -'62 reissue
Fender Jazz Bass
Silvertone Lap Steel

Sounds:
POD XT
POD 2.0
Digitech RP-7
Marshall Compressor pedal
Boss EQ pedal
MXR Stereo Chorus (an original one)
Vox Pathfinder amp (2 amps in stereo-home use)
Fender Ultimate Chorus amp (for gigs)

Needless to say, I favor vintage reissue guitars and modern solid state/digital equipment. It's hard to replace old guitars and amps, and the vintage market is getting too expensive. I commend Line 6 for their POD XT, which gives my guitar collection an authentic sound on par with the real vintage stuff.

She's a real beaut Howard. Looks quite familiar. You have some nice flame on the upper body.

Best 12 strings ever made, IMO.

I had a couple of '72 Tele Basses, but instead of the P Bass pickup I had a RIC hi-gain there!

Great minds think almost alike! Image

Congratulations on the upcoming event, Chris! Hope you and the finance have a great day! Image

I'm thinking that this may be one time when the guitars take a back seat, yes?
