Pics or it didn't happen.

I burned those pics along with my plaid flares, puffy sleeve shirts, platform shoes, black velvet jacket, 2" wide black leather watch band and puka shell necklace. There was about a one year period in my life when "mod" was the thing to do. I out grew it quick and reverted back to my bell bottom jeans, untucked shirt and hiking boots (or bare feet depending on the weather). A post mod pick from 1975 (no bass content, it was early, I hadn't caught one yet - lol)...

His coolness factor skyrocketed when he started smoking and drinking 24/7!

Yep, his band mates stopped saying "Geddy outa here" and started saying "Lemmy hear that again!"

There is also a small underground group of these types around here as well.

Man, you're killin' it!

No way I could get my old fingers to do that, nicely done!

But @hillerup is not in Australia... even if he were, it's the morning there.

... but it's Copenhagen... they have it for breakfast

It can be difficult to find hollow bodies in a 34" scale.

I'm gonna hafta do some experimenting to find out just how much of this pain-free super easy playability comes from the short scale...

Thanks to Dave (sorry forgot your tb handle) for sending me this really cool early 90's Rotosound packaging! Things stay the same for years, then they change over night. I musta bought dozens if not hundreds of sets of strings packed like this. Makes me smile to see it

I said it before, if you must play a Ric then you must wear a puffy shirt.

I think a kimono is a valid alternative

Or a cape

 

[PillO]

Thanks man! I love this thing! I can't recommend 'em strongly enough... especially to someone with an affinity for hollowbodies!

There are other things I need want first. Top of the list - something that provides the option of upsetting the neighbours with my terrible playing.

Ok, new catch phrase for you. You're a terrible young person.

That's not new, @dukeorock calls me that at least once a day...

Nicest thing anyone’s called that kid in a long time
