I don't have a working camera right now but, this pic is very recent. The basses arrived today.
Haven't had a Ric bass in almost two years I think

How does it feel to be a Ric bass man again? Those are nice, hope they play as good as they look!

Feels great
They play and sound excellent. This is my first time owning the newer ones (FWI, push/pull pot). The MB has the two piece neck. To me they both feel and sound very much the same. Tonal range amazing. Play like butter. What else could a bassist want?

A bigger bass-side horn, 7-screw tailpiece, crushed inlays, toaster, horseshoe, wavy Grovers, checkered binding, a back-painted plexi TRC, and a thinner neck, apparently.
Welcome to the forum Marc!!!
