There's a waiting list for Rics now? What?

You should go for the Lemmy version - it's extra crazy ridiculous!

He has a lot of great looking stuff on there. Fun to look at even if you don't buy. If I ever have that kind of coin to spare though :animal:

That's if yall order um online like. If they are already in the store no wait :poke:

I've read the thread and all and I have no recommends for you really because I never buy new basses.... {I either build my own or put together frankies] But if you like tele basses, Squier makes "one" http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Squier-CLASSIC-VIBE-Precision-50s-Bass-Guitar-?sku=519743 And so does fEnder http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Sting-Signature-Precision-Bass?sku=511022&src=3WFRWXX&ZYXSEM=0&CAWELAID=26040942 kinda.

And no they are no 69-71 tele basses but nothing really is.....except 51-53 P basses......

The guy at pmblues is financing his kids' college education with those 3 Lemmys.

Ric decided to slow down a couple of years ago--they even stopped making several standard models, like the 3-pickup guitars. And prices have gone through the roof. I wish they would reissue this:

Ric no longer supplies Guitar Center. Here's a list of dealers that have been shipped 4003's:

I would try Washington Music Center. They don't jack the prices like most others.

I find this Ric shortage a bit funny, it must be do to the web, back when I started playing they were much easier to find.

My bassist has a Warwick Rockbass, it is amazing. Although there is a chance that it blew up a practice amp, but it adds to the awesome value :thumb:

He also owns one of Wayne Pedzwater's basses, the pickups were so active we set it by the pa speakers UNPLUGGED and IN ITS CASE and it still made a bunch of feedback!

I stumbled upon this on MF, has anyone played one before? I'll check stores around here but it seems like a good deal to me.

Jaguar bass. You can switch to active, which took me a while to realize sounds like shit, but I only play in passive mode. I love mine. It's growly, but clean, and sounds good picked or slapped. Also, I think they're all coming from Japan right now, and where that ain't quite as cool as American, the Japanese pay a lot of attention to detail and make super solid gear.

every time a P bass runs through an ILF pedal, a devil gets his horns! :rock:
