Or so our ex, and on Sunday, drummer for the gig loudly told me. Not for the first time. He was only helping us out as we're 'between drummers', more's the pity!
He also claimed that 'no real bass players have ever used those things' - to which I listed a few that had, he said no more on the matter. DIdn't even have a chance to drop in Macca, perhaps the most famous bassist in the world.
The guy is a tool, without a doubt - and I for one thought my '74 sounded amazing at the gig. He a guy that maintains a Precision is the only bass for R'nB. If I'm honest, I took the 4001 to the gig to wind him up!

Same day, another local bass player saw the Ric and offered me the chance to buy his Chinese copy. I declined in no uncertain terms. His response? 'My mate has got a real one as well, and he really likes it'! Good for him, I said - I prefer the real deal for numerous reasons.
Amazing how wrong some people can be with their perceptions with Rics!
