I think you & I are the same age sir. Cheers!

Same age here but I don't have any of myself playing at 17-18. I don't think I picked up my first Rick until 20 or 21.

Heck, I don't have many pics of myself at either age, now that I think of it.

Scott, you and your Ric bass are looking very cool!

Thanks Koji, this bass really rocks. I have several great basses now but the Ric really is my favorite. I love the tone and there is so much more bottom than I ever remember from my other Rics I have had in the past.

These then and now photos are a hoot. At the same time it is touching to see the brand loyalty. Please keep them coming.

Wish I had a single pic of my first Ric, a JG '73 4001.

July 31, 1981 with my first brand new 4001, presented to me during the gig, at Characters in New Rochelle, NY. My plan was to finish paying for it and pick it up the very next day, but my family and girlfriend at the time had their own surprise plan.

Here jamming next to Dan Saifer at the latest mini-jam with my newest Rick, the 4004Cii Ruby. I'm trying out the "Dan Stance".

After a strap is several years old, retire, it! It can at any time suddenly tear or snap, possibly making your precious guitar smash to the floor.
