The Last Bass Outpost

Nice
"Grecoguitar"

"S" copies are pretty rare. How does this one sound? Close to a real Ric?

I'm asking because copies don't have padauk boards, and I have this theory that fretboard material has a major part in a guitar's overall sound. Sometimes more than the body wood.

It sounds close, but not exact. Besides the board being different, there's also only one truss rod, which may make a difference as well. I have yet to outfit it with flats, which will be the deciding factor on whether it sounds 'close enough'. Once I do that I'll report on what I find.

I never mind some competition as long as we stay friends afterward! 

As it should be, my friend... 

This was my first 'real' Ric. Nice bass but I wanted the slimmer neck, so this one went to Germany (I think). I won't post a pic of my Greco 4001S copy (I know that gives some guys palpitations in a Ric forum  ), but it's pretty nice. I'll tell you Scott, I lust after your C64...

Haven't even seen it since I took pictures of it when I bought it. I've been home maybe four/five times since then and never for more than a day or two. Life's very hectic right now... Sorry guys. 

Great tune, playing, and video!

It's a long wait but I'll happily order mine as soon as they're available.

Hopefully you're not refering to former President Johnson!

That was a great reply!

You should see what I got because of the President!
