i miss my Rics...

Post by brycycle »

so i've relocated to London, England and left all my basses back in Canada. i had to decide between my bike or a bass...the bike made more since at the time as there is still some time in the season left and it would have cost a fortune to ship.

i now find myself plucking on my flatmates Squire strat, trying to make the most of it. i should have shipped one over here...

Graham, care to lend me one of those 60's 4001's? :wink:

That's a drag, Bryce! How long are you over there for?

Get ahold of Graham. Maybe he'll lend you a '60 4000 or something. :mrgreen:

I could go without my Rics for a year ... but I would have to have a fenderbird and a jazz to play ...

You can borrow or rent a bike... I'd have taken the Rick along.

Ok.
This is getting pretty old, Jeff. We know you prefer something other to Rickenbackers, so let it go, please. :D

this is my bike but in black of course. after about 12,000kms over the last 2 summers, we're pretty attached.

i'll probably have a bass shipped over, or bring one back after a visit home over the holidays...i just really felt the urge to play today.
