I've always loved the sound of a Rick 12, and just couldn't pass this one up. It matches my Monte 4003VP. I should get it in a couple of weeks. Now I'll just have to learn how to play guitar:

Wow! Lovely, Paul. May I suggest some Rogan "oven" knobs to complete the look?

Don't worry, those top two courses of strings are just for show-offs anyway...

What happened to the original knobs?

That's beautiful, Paul!

Owner replaced the knobs, but will include the originals. He also rewired it so the fifth "blend" knob is now a master volume. It won't matter to me since I know only a few basic guitar chords and have a lot more to figure out.

Nice buy, Paul! That one is worth learning to play guitar for

Is that Muralis ex-12, Paul? Very nice...
I have Rogans on mine, along with a special knob that I mold myself for the 5th knob, which is designed to look good with the Rogans.

Thanks for the suggestion, Paul, but actually, I'm not crazy about the TV knobs, and prefer the "4004" style knobs that are on it now -- even to the original knobs.
Your's is Monte, too, eh? I love that color. Wish my bass had the checker binding like this.
