...link to the RIC Forum discussion about this if anybody is interested. Great factory pix taken recently, but I was hoping to see some Anniversary 4003s in there!

I look about 50 lbs. heavier than I really am in all of these shots!

The camera always adds 40 pounds. The other 10 were from Jerry's.

Wow, cool link.... I'm kind of interested in the Bose-and-Ric combo myself, as my friend Billy D. and I (with lots of help from my generous husband) are somewhat interested in going in half-and-half on a Bose PA speaker system as we begin securing more gigs.... I need to do some more research, LOL!

Our drummer is waiting for one of those Bose rigs, and we are very curious to see how it will work..will post when we've had a chance to play with it, and a buddy in Nashville thinks they're the cats ***....R

Those photographs from the factory are really good. I especially love the one of the various fireglo, jetglo, and midnight blue guitars awaiting their "final touches". Midnight blue looks so good sandwiched between the red and black.
I have to say that I'm a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to those Bose rigs or any other newfangled technological amplification marvel. I've never played one, so take everything I say with a big dollop of salt, but there's something romantic about a tube amp and a microphone, despite the relative crudeness of the thing. Don't the Bose things seem a bit clinical?
I would love to hear the setting that Kenny and Mr. Hall came up with, though. And Kenny, I thought you looked very rock and roll in those shots, especially with that white and black 330. The gray gives you an air of distinguished menace. Seriously!

Oh, hey man, I'm all about the O.G.* gear myself - my current PA is a Shure Vocal Master, and all my amps are tube - but you must admit that retro rigs for playing an acoustic gig leave a lot to be desired. That's the experience I've mostly had with the Bose PAS - and mannnnn is it nice.

There's going to be lots of 'em! When the update comes out, your local Bose M.I. dealer should have one that you can check out.

Thank you sir. Gray never has bothered me.
