New to forum and lusting over Rics

Hello everyone! I have been looking around for a few days and posted once or twice. Was hanging out in HCBF for a while, then after finding out I need a Ric bass, someone directed me here. I guess I can only wait until I get up the rest of the money I need for a new 4003. Hopefully I will be able to get a Montezuma Brown!

Welcome Bill ... be careful you may get R.A.D.

That is Rickenbacker Acquisition Disease

Once you you have R.A.D. one Ric will never be enough ... so how many Ric basses do you need? ... the answer is always "One More!!!"

Welcome!

Jeffs right about R.A.D.

...Although in Jeffs case it's not so much as how many Rics basses do I need ,but how many strings do I need!....and the answers the same...always one more!

Well I figure start with a 4003 hopefully Montezuma Brown maybe vintage pickup option?

But I would love a shadow or blackstar.

anyone know of a good rick bass history site with limited/rare models?

Like someone once told me, here on this forum....

"have the cash ready and be quick on the trigger"
when that Blackstar or Shadow comes up...
