Wow, what a gorgeous trio of basses! That MG looks like a nice earlier one.

I've had lots of great Rick basses, but the only ones I really miss would be the 4005WB's and my '93 v63 which Joey has now.

That MG was an '88 .... that was my "buy'em, try'em, sell'em" stage ..... dear God , I went through a BUNCH of guitars/basses from '03-08'!!

I only posted this pic because I was going through my files and fondly reminiscing those days .... the front door pics haha...everyone has a trademark, I suppose.... :wink:
