All that lovely wood....Covered in pickguard....

Pity....

+1

I bought a brand new one a long time ago (I think it was back in the 80's). I didn't care for it. The strings were way too close together (for *MY* taste). I promptly sold it.

that is what I thought too, I even tried an 8 string Ric once, probably even rarer than the 5

Nice! The downside of the 8-string Ric was no separate intonation adjustment for the string pairs.

Hi @wintremute,

When you're not looking at basses, you can pass the time with this.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Hey, as a Bassist, you can cross the last one in the G Column if you find Lee Slkar!

Excuse me here guys, but why would you put an ugly pick guard over a beautiful Spalted Maple top?

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Sub'd! Good stuff.

Hi Charles (@wintremute),

Ack! You had to get video of "Wagonwheel"? And I even had a brainfart on the second verse. How am I ever going to live this down? Oh, woe is me.

Great to see you in town! Have fun at NAMM and I'll see you again in about a week and a half. I'm looking forward to your NAMM shenanigans.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

i hear what you mean. that's not a banjo you're picking!

 

[two fingers]

Man your NAMM reports are the BEST @wintremute !!!!!

Some vendor should have you out every year. You probably sell more bass gear tthan any other one human on Earth!

Travel carefully and thanks for all of your efforts, my friend.

Is Marko at this one?

Here's a link to what Fender has new for 2018; at least that's what it says:

All that plastic. What a shame.

I'm guessing that the guard is vintage aluminum; hey it's fancy wood!
