Well....I'm never quite sure what is and what isn't for public consumption. First off, we only talked basses. The owner of the company that made the ABM bridges has passed away, taking all the manufacturing secrets with him. RIC has some of these units stockpiled for 4004 bass production, but hopefully, by the time they run out, the new bridge will be ready which will fit all RIC basses and be modular in design(4,5, and 8 string bridges can all be assembled on the same platform).The vintage style re-issue basses will keep the current unit, while the 4003 will probably be updated with the new part. I didn't see the new part, only heard it and it's recent progress described. I can say no more and hope I haven't said too much.

Vanessa looks very cool, as does that greenbursty...

It's nice to have friends like that.

Great pic. The guitar is lovely as well. I've said it before, but I really like that finish.

I'm bummed that I wasn't able to go and meet up with you guys. It would have been really cool to see everyone. I'm pretty much a hermit studying for the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test)through February 2nd. Thanks for calling in Mike G!

The toilet seat to the left of the picture emphasizes the term of P-bass.

So it's musical when you "go".

With the Super Bowl happening in less than 2 weeks, take a gander at these: http://www.helmetguitars.com/

Yes, they are as hideous as they sound.
