Ric 4420 - Al Cisneros double neck custom

[AaronVonRock]

I want to hear this played live in all of its Spinal Tap glory. Apparently he had a sister bass made with black hardware as well. Pic taken from the Sleep FB page.

Tye upper horn is literally under his beard! While I think it's neat to look at, it seems like a ridiculous thing to have around your neck. Need a 5 string? Have your tech hand you a perfectly tuned one for the next song. Wearing two basses? No thanks.

I had a a 4080 on long-term loan back in the mid '80s and it was a boat anchor. Fk playing that for more than ten minutes.

Al has completed his transformation into Tom Araya.

Edit: now, go look up the video for "Dragonaut" to see him as a yute.

There are some things I don't question, and this is one of them.

What is a yute?

It's a bit from "My Cousin Vinnie" where Joe Pesci mispronounces "youth" with a heavy New York accent.

Yes, I'm familiar with the scene. That's why I asked the question.

LOL!! My bad! I saw your location and thought there may have been a lost in translation moment.

Very cool. I'm trying to deduce what tunes he uses it on though because for all their existing material he hasn't switched basses mid-song (that I'm aware of). Then again maybe the reason he didn't is because he didn't have this until now... Hmmmm

I've seen a few different clips on Facebook of him playing it recently. Hard for me to tell what song was being played in a 20-30 second clip.

Can you link or rehost them? I'm not on Facebook to dig them up myself.

If you look up the FB page 'Weedian' there are a few photos and clips from their 17 April show in Santa Fe.

The one clip I found on that page sounded like a bit of Dopesmoker, but I could be wrong. It's still early and I haven't had coffee yet.

Normal sized strap. Hard to know for sure but he doesn’t appear to be complaining about it.

If the 5 was on top I’d be all over it.

Nut widths?

 

[lucas303]

I just noticed that even the four string half has a different bridge than the 4003AC. I know nothing about Ricks though so I don't know if these bridges are significant at all.

He looks at least like a size 42
