Now that's rare, Tony Hicks on the Ric.



More Ric playing here, both by him and the then "real" bassist (Bernie Calvert), Tony really digs in with his pick!



That's the line-up I saw in 1976/77, they were impeccable live.

Shame that it is lip synched, not a real performance.

Rics can be funky fo sho.

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

But in the hands of a master bassist like Eric Idle, it sounds great.  :mrgreen:

I posted this the other day on FB. Hard number to do live. Bass certainly isn't prominent, but it is a Ric.

Chas T Gray on bass.

Ha, this is a rare one! Busta Jones, the bassist recommended by Mick Jagger to the Sharks to replace Andy Fraser ...
