Excellent! I wouldn't normally think of a Ric and a Soul Train performance going together. That was a huge hit.

I have probably posted this already, but it is a great song and features a Fireglo 4001.

Great song. I never would have guessed it was a Ric though. The bass sounds like a typical 60's short-scale hollow body.

Les and Primus on tour covering Rush's complete A Farewell to Kings album. Xanadu with the double neck 4080.



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

Nice. Beautiful bass. That's a very dark FG.

For once, pleasant music with a Ric.

Demonstrating that the bridge pickup cover can be used for percussion.

Among other things. Fender pickup covers can do that too.

There have been a few times, mainly at jams, when I have gotten lost enough that I just use a flat hand across all the strings as percussion to keep the beat. Eventually, as Arlo Guthrie said, "it comes back around on the gee-tar" and I can get back in.

The Ric handrest is more clicky, while the Fender pickup cover is like a piccolo cowbell; I hit it with the pick and the palm to muffle the pitch.

Contrary to Glover's opinion, I think he sounded his best with this unmodified Ric. DP's Machine Head and Yes's Fragile were what turned me on to Rics.
