anyone here who can should upload a sound clip of themselves playing their Ricky bass......it would be interesting.......

I have one here of me playing my 4004L5 ...

I'll post some more soon ... you have to play it twice to get it to play right ... it is 3 bass tracks and a drum machine ... one bass is play a bass line, one bass is playing chords, and one is doing a lead ... all using the 4004 through a line 6 pod direct into a cheap casette recorder ...

Here's a link to some mp3's of a metal band I was in about 2 years ago. I'm playing an '86 2030 bass.

these are not professional quality ... but it gives you a variety of sounds from several different Rics ...

I couldn't get Eriks to play at all and only about 8 seconds at a time of Jeffs, I liked what little I heard of the last clip, (#7?) but did not have the patience to listen to 50 8 second clips and wait 30 seconds between them! My connection is supposed to be 56K but I have a lot of problems with any kind of audio on my computer, alway drops out after a few seconds. By the way Erik, what part of Ma. are you from, I live near Worcester (Millbury) but will be living in Lima, Peru, for a year at least starting in August.

Hi Bob,

Sorry you couldn't get the clips to work. I used to live in Salem but moved to Costa Mesa CA (my place is about 15 minute walk to the Rick factory in Santa Ana) last year.

It's my computer or something. How do you like California? Did you see any witches while you lived in Salem?

The first song here - http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/165/tiny_volcano.html is called "Loaded Gun". I'm playing my 1978 4001 with Barts and a Badass I bridge.
