So i've read on multiple sites that Timmy C used a Ric! I couldn't believe it. I heard he uses it on the song "Revolver", and when you listen to that song, it doesn't really surprise me. It sounds like it has that Ric tone. Can anyone confirm to me that he does use a Ric? What color and what songs? Thanks.

|  | put a bird on it | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Minnesota | | | i doubt he used a ric. i have seen all those sites that you are talking about...like the RATM FAQ. i highly highy highly doubt that he had one. for the evil empire sessions, he used his fender jazz bass, the one that he eventually smashed at that one award show...i forget...either way, i am sure he never had a ric... |

Tim C uses Jazz Basses. He's torn down rig after rig and started from scratch there, but he always uses Jazz Basses. With RATM, he tuned down, and with Audioslave, he now uses 'em tuned BEAD.

I want one of those SX's... and a Geddy Lee... and a Ric... I need to stop.

| | | | To quash rumours of Timmy using a Ric, well...he has. I only know because I've seen the pic of him using one. He's also used a Stingray (2 Band EQ version), and of course those jazz Basses.

| | | | I found it searching through RATM pics on the mighty Google. It was a studio environment which leads me to believe he may have recorded using one...not sure about live work though.
