Experimental new model?
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:36:26 AM »
This pic was posted to the official Ric FB page. Between the Ruby 12-string and what looks like a "480LK" guitar, is a bass with a 325-style body, unfinished.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

Speaking of experiments, they also posted a pic of a new inlay material that looks like the old "crushed pearl".

You know a 325 bass would sell well if the price was comparable to a 4003.

Wow, first thing - I can't believe they glued those Lemmy wings to a lefty guitar neck!

The bass is kind of interesting. I'd actually like to see a short scale 650 style bass with HB1s. Or dual toaster option.  ;D  That would kill with flats!

Maybe it's a reversed righty like the beloved 4001c64.  :P

I'm guessing that's a unfinshed 3001, however the HS has a wave, Hmmm,,
