Had the pleasure of hanging out with Will @Gaolee tonight at our gig in Goldendale, WA.

It will come as a shock to no one that Will is an awesome human being. Seriously funny and interesting. Had a great time and hope he didn't think we sucked too bad!
Another friend drove in from Boise and let me play his '73 Ric 4001 and I gotta say it was the nicest Ric I've ever played. 10 more minutes and you coulda played it too, Will!

Still waiting for my NR to show up, I may have shifted on the color and go with the Burgundy. Honestly I sould have grabbed the first faded Pelham Blue one that showed up at the HOG.
In the meantime I am finding other ways to fritter away my money. This 70's Aria EB3 copy followed me home from the HOG yesterday. I gave it a good setup plays great, nice low action. Pickups are very usable, the bridge unit is very strong. Lots of fun for little dough, won't intonate for a damn though.

It reminds me of my first bass, a Mateo EB-0 copy, I really should see about finding one again.

Well shoot! That might have been the first Ric I would have liked. Probably better to not know.

The show was a blast. Pros who have played together for a long time can even make clams groove and sound good. Also good- bass was up front and center where it belongs.

Hey what's the spec on your DB? I'm considering one, and I'm thinking a ply body Kay will do me just fine.

Any quirks to amplification?

:laugh: The best thing about my hands is that(for now)they still work-as long as the neck's skinny enuff.
(YAY! Gibson/Epi)

The new NR neck is beefy, like way bigger than a Reverse, I'm find that I have the bass at a different height as I play it more.
