[quote name='spongebob' post='1168357' date='Mar 19 2011, 03:37 PM']+1, very well put![/quote] Yes... but I do love them, lol I do rather like JG but Burgundy / cherry red has always been my favoured finish. Theres a lovely Aerodyne P/J in the FS section which has a beautiful similar finish, not quite as deep as BG but lovely nonetheless!

Jack Bruce - tried an EB3 and didnt like it as much as the Les Paul which made the same sound and more, so bought that. Cliff Burton - bought a Rick 4001 but would really like one in burgundy like his as its a proper sexy colour. The Rick is my go-to bass for just about anything, so that was a good purchase. That bass has done a colossal amount of gigs. In fact I just restringed it. lol And I have a lot of players that I love who have had Precisions, Jamerson, Harris et al so bought a P a couple of years ago.

Thats a a fair point, but im only really just interested in the possibility of gettting a fretted one in this colour... and if they (GAK / whomever) can place an order with Ric that would suggest these FL ones do exist (or are going to exist, lol ), so therefore maybe the possibilty of a fretted one could be on the horizon? I think im confusing myself now, haha!

Actually this could probably be doing with being moved to the Basses forum, doh.

Ian Paice has to be one of my fave drummers ever, technical and yet very powerful - surely an influence on many that followed him!

Morning guys, Im looking around for a BurgundyGlo Ric at the moment. After a little bit of Googling ive noticed that GAK and Dolphin are both supposedly getting stock of 4003's with the BG colour scheme.... although they are fretless, which im not so interested in! Does anyone know anything about Ric colours, ie. will they release this in the future as a fretted bass (considering they are going to release an FL version which are somewhat less in demand!). Im happy to wait for a new one if thats the case as finding a second hand one isnt proving easy

I live in Norwich and have never heard of or seen a Vintage Guitar gaff in Bridewell Alley... interesting

the SVT610HLF is the best cab ive ever used. It certainly aint light... but its brilliant!

I have had a fair few basses... but ive only ever sold one! I like a lotta different things, if they all serve a certain purpose (ie. the Gibson for phat thumps, the rick for trebley goodness, the Fender P w/ flats for bluesy stuff) then im happy. I only have real GAS for one bass in particular now, and thats just another Rick, as I know if I sold all the rest of my basses (God forbid) I know the one I really couldnt do without, and suits me the best, is the Ric. Hence having two of them makes kinda sense. lol Ive had a LOT of amps that ive moved on over the years though. Its only been since I got my SVT and SVT610 that ive been truly happy with the tone. The problem with it is that it stands rather tall and is rather heavy... if you could get that tone (and volume!!!) in a smaller package with less speakers... someone could make a lot of money out of it... would like to give Alex's stuff a run out one of these days
