On mornings like this, rolling into work just as the sun burst over the North Sea illuminating the partial, deep-black overcast and painting the clear bits with every range of colours from greens to orange to blue to yellows, it's so grim it's beautiful.
Aaaaaah!

Those 4080's should come with a years free subscription to your local gym! :)

I wish that they did. Perhaps I might go then.

Hi Scotty!

This is my '75 480. It's a bit rough around the edges and could do with some tidying up, but the fretboard's really good, and it sounds great.

I got this one slightly inadvertently in January, a result of making what I thought was a 'low offer'.

In the past, I've had another 480 and various other solidbodied Ricks. They're really underappreciated by the wider guitar community IMO.
