Weird looking Ric.

That is not weird looking at all.

THIS is weird looking:

Yeah yeah its not an actual Rick. Just thought I'd beat you to that point.

It's most likely just duct tape set where the inlay markers on the fretboard are. I've seen some local guitarists around here do that. That way you can feel where you're positioned as you run your hand up the neck. I've been thinking about doing it with electrical tape to my VM jazz bass. Would look pretty cool with the black inlays and all

i know a bass player that does this too. it helps him to look less at his fretboard and in some situations feel when he cant see in the dark lit stage.

The beginning of that reminds me of David Meshow.

I don't even have to click the link and I can probably guess you're talking about the Scarified video.

+1... its been on here often!

Gilbert is a rare guitarist with an actual sense of humour. This is what happens when a guitarist 'gets over hilmself'... its a rare plateaux.

It's funny how even with a P pup in the right position, it still sounds like a Ric.

+1. I was thinking the samel thing. Even with the P pickup the bass seemed to have Ric growl. So maybe this bass proves sound is more in the strings/neck/body then the electronics.
