<< BTW that left-hand blue Ricky is very cool ! >>
I shall be aiming to ask mr jackson about his shiny blue rick on saturday,
given half a chance. seemed to me (and we were in the choir loft stage left,
so good view past the moog) that the thing has the controls fitted from the
rear. would that all rick basses were like this- my 96 five string has a
white scratchplate over mapleglo, which wasn't a standard trim by the
mid-90s. I know why- the plastic is translucent and the routing underneath is
quite visible, much more so than on my 74 4001s. they are both cracking good
instruments though. I didn't miss the hofner at all, except for the bit with
the bow he used to do- they did "hang on to a dream" without it.. :-(
but anyway. I'll try to remember to ask whose 'tron (and where) they used on
"blue apples".
erm... so someone said lee "and david" would be there; would this be the
missing guitarist, or is that the author's name?
