What is the finish of the Rick to the right? I have a 2001 Rick 4001 in Fireglo, yours doesn't seem to match mine, it's more of a cherry...?
|
It's called Burgandyglo. It's a transparent red over the maple wood grain underneath.

#15 out of 1,000. That bass alone is worth more than my car. It has a lot less miles on it too!
I use Photobucket for pictures.
I just copy the url of the photo and paste it here. |
Thanks, that gives me something to work on!

I've always liked the sound of those Spector basses.
Good solid ballsy growl. |
No kidding- that fifth string almost cracks the earth below your feet! 
It is very easy to play, also, although mine could use a new set of strings.

I used to have that Geddy Lee model in the middle there, but sold it to defray the cost of a human being.
Now I rely on my Spector five string (which has recently been having connection issues  ).
As a backup bass, I use an Ibanez GSR-200, which plays remarkably well (and better than many high-end basses I've played).

I have played a few Ibanez basses and I like them too. The SR5005 is pretty nice for the price.

Hi everyone. I thought I would post a photo of my bass guitars.
Prog has cost me a lot of money!!

You know you are a prog addict when the value of all of your bass guitars is much greater than the value of the car you drive!
Nice! That's a Chris Squire Rick, right?
The bass in my icon is my Hugh Manson fretless (John Paul Jones has the twin, "Eric The Red," he was on Saturday Night Live a week or so ago with his band "Them Crooked Vultures"...his is fretted, mine not so much.
How do I post pictures into this window?? Signed, another confused prog bassist!

I'm quite sure one of those Rick's is the model Micky used to have, and which went to a band end by falling down a stairwell ....

Micky, the forum member, is your husband?

Looks like someone needs some more basses.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Uprights look insane! Ever played one before? Even in a store, or something? |
Yeah. The Sam Ash store near me had one years ago and I'd go in there and screw around with it. They are hard to play. MAN!! The fingers will take a BEATING playing one of those!!
But, it would be cool to learn to be somewhat good on one.

I just now noticed you also had a Wal! How much did that baby set you back?
You should record yourself playing some Tool tunes with it, if you haven't already. |
I got the WAL bass on July 21, 1993 for $3,043.00 from The Bass Centre in California.
It pretty much wiped me out for awhile, but I'm sure glad I got it.
I dont have any Tool stuff but it sounds great playing the Wal-era Rush stuff and I like playing to some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers stuff from BSSM.
