Features the bass a lot in sound and video. I like the switching between pick and fingers too. Love the comment below about "not sure now who did the origional"!!

Here's that same bass after the black plastic was changed out for tortoise, it was sold on ebay at the end of 2003 and was bought by a forumite.

I discovered Spock's Beard right after Neal left the band and bought everything they had out, would be great to hear Daves new rick live, but they don't get down to Florida. My fiance from Liverpool lucked out and got to see them in London, Dave was playing his p-bass because his black rick was in the shop getting repaired. When I found out that Mike Portnoy sat in on "the light" I was really steamed that I couldn't make the flight over there.

Apparently, he had his 4-pickup Ric reworked recently, so I dunno what it's like now. It sounds good, but still not as good as the old white one.

Aren't all 4001s good sounding? C'mon!

wow I never heard these guys before...I must say I'm impressed...very Yes influenced which isn't really a bad thing. These guys rule.
