The headstock is certainly Ricklike, but the rest, no. Wonder what it is?

I thought the bass player played a heavily modified Rick with a huge metal pick guard. That's not the one shown here, but I thought I saw it on the forum at one time.

Ha, very good Paul.
He does, or did. I don't know what that is, although I've seen it on a dvd I have. The neck looks about half the size of a Ric neck on the dvd; I assume it may be custom built. Unless his tech has taken the chisel to his Ric yet again....(ony joking - I hope!)

Here's the one I was thinking of. It is a 4001. Poor thing

He's got another Ric he plays in a video I saw that has a ton of little switches on it. What they're for, I don't know, as there are only 2 pickups on the bass.

What are you talking about! They are in the Guiness Book of World Records for being the loudest band ever!!!! At least that's what they're claim to fame is on a VH-1 special I watched.

celine dion could be louder than them if she spent enough money on amplification.

WOW...very critical bunch. I like 'em......their first 4 or 5 cd's at least. Joey DeMaio is quite a good bass player as well (a bit too flashy at times but has a strong tone and some killer lines). I certainly don't like the looks of his Rics and pseudo-Rics but he sure can play them.
But what do I know since most of the idols worshipped around here make my skin crawl.

Well said Brian!!!
I actually like the massive reflective pickguards - I wouldn't do that to one of my basses, but over-the-top is fun sometimes...
And I like their version of "Flight of the Bumblebee"!
