I don't intend to. But if you ever want to do some recording with it, let me know.

A friend working in the store went to the basement and retrieved my '74. '75 was a major change in the 4001's, so my '74 is probably very similar in feel to your '72. I just ran my hand up and down the neck and bought it without even plugging it in. Never regretted it. The walnut finish is a rare finish for Ric basses.

I've got a red one, around late 70s vintage... nuthin' like a nice ol' Ric. Didn't see any Mellotron here, tho. Would've been fun, considering the obvious influences.
