Some people might recommend the Mono GS1 "Betty" strap.

Unfortunately, the Rockinbetter's had no official tie with Tokai, other than they were brought in to the UK by the UK distributors of Tokai, called 'Tokai UK'. They're good, in as much as they are through neck, and the necks are very similar to the Ric's they're modelled on. The downside is that the bodies are slightly larger and wider. Still great basses though. Another to look out for is the Bass Collection Californian, which is basically the same bass with a different TRC. The FB Rickenfaker group is a good place to go for info, though mainly based on recent Chinese fakers, or 70's MIJ fakers.

Brown Eyed Girl - Some Miserable Supermarket Van Driver

Got to say that the G&L L2000 Tribute had a particularly chunky neck. As did the EBMM StingRay.

Oops Upside Your Head - The Gap Band

Ego The Living Planet - Monster Magnet

She's Calling You - Bad Brains

Midnight Mountain - Cathedral

Big fan, been using Multi FX's for a while, but mainly for the amp/cab modelling, as well as the effects. I like them, they give me the sounds that I want, without spending a fortune on individual pedals (been there, done that).

POD Go 1.30 Firmware update available

Ding Dang A Dong - Teach In (Eurovision Song Contest Winner 1975)

Snowblind - Black Sabbath

Whatever's to hand. Cheap & cheerful, but played with attitude.

Not really having a reference point here, I'm afraid I can't really help in that respect. It had to be moved on when I couldn't coax a usable sound out of it. It sounded great on it's own, but in the rehearsal room, it just seemed "indistinct" to me. There again, I do realise that I much prefer single coil pickups.

Gabba Gabba Hey - The Other Four Mop Tops from New York

Hey Bulldog - That Lot Again

Had one a wee while back. From what I recall, the body was slightly oversized, compared to an Epiphone / Gibson, and it has a 44mm nut (opposed to 38mm on the Epiphone / Gibson models). The oversized body meant that it won't fit into a shaped T'bird case, but does fit into a gig bag. Other than that, it's a solid bass. Prone to the usual T'bird complaints of course. I didn't find it head heavy, but you have to have long arms (especially if you want to play it sat down!). If you play with it on a strap, then you need to have the body resting on the hip rather than having the body resting across you (as you would with an FSO for example).

At least it's not being used as reinforcing bars, there's a concrete shortage as well.
