Now is that a tremolo, a vibrola, a whammy bar or a thang on that Bison?

How does it work? It appears to have sort of slide mechanism? Look at all those knobs to twiddle. A twiddlers dream.

It's a faithful reproduction of the '64 'Reso-Tube Tremolo System', Brian (whatever that means!!). As distinct from their 'Deluxe Tremolo System'.

Yep! Far too fussy for my liking. That bass does look pretty good, though.....

This one is butt-ugly!!

Burns steer

I'm thinking we should move any further discussion of non-Ricks to the 'Others' topic, yes? Don't want to incur the wrath of Peter!! :-)

By the way guys the plug got pulled on the Shaftsbury Ric Copy.

If he re-lists the ad is going to be a screamer.

He was severely pi**ed after the first one got yanked and he had to re-list. He really vented. This should be a fun auction to watch for.

Yeh this thread is dead now that his ad has gone.

LOL

Our apologies Peter. One thing lead to another and we ended up near the Azores on this one. Way off course.

Having said that, there's still room for a couple more pickups and knobs on the red one. Hahahaha!!

Sorry....... no more!

Yes, more:

That green one has a headstock that looks like an earwig in a woodpile. Creepy...

OK..... You could use that to remove nails from your timber deck!! Not unlike those on B.C.Rich guitars.
