Nicklab Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 So, the mapleglo one will be different from the jetglo one how????

rizzo9247 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Main differences are that it's brand new with no defects, and was $900 cheaper than the last one I bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plangentmusic Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 . Nah, you're just getting started. What do you practice all the James Jamerson licks on? BTW: I have that same RIck, but the pearl is duller. It's a '79.

EddiePlaysBass Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Love the Bongo! For some reason, I keep finding myself wanting a 6-string version in orange. It just seems to make perfect sense. Now if they only had a fretless version - I keep telling myself that the only "other" bass I "need" is a (more than) decent fretless, and for some reason a 6-string (while I'm at it). Still, I have a 5-string fretless Palmer (cheapo), a 5-string Ibanez BTB QM405, a MIA Fender Jazz Marcus Miller V Signature, and a 4-string Squier Classic Vibe '50s Precision bass. Oh, and a WAV 4 EUB. Summing it up, that is actually half-way decent, come to think of it!! "I'm a work in progress."

kenfxj Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Is that a dime-sized ding on that Ric? Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imogene Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The Ric is beautiful. I'll step out on a limb, once again, and assume the Bongo to be your favorite (because its in the middle). I've never held a Bongo, but own a SR5. I just can't get past the non-traditional look of the Bongo to take it seriously. I played a Steinberger once and just didn't get it. Apparently a whole lot of other players didn't either. The Bongo reminds me of that, but a whole lot of players like it. On paper it seems a great bass. In person? BTW, that Ric is absolutely beautiful! Too bad you cut the peghead out of that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottom End Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Very pretty! "Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.'-Hamlet Guitar solos last 30 seconds, the bass line lasts for the whole song.

jeremy c Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Looking at your fish tank, it's hard to believe that you are "finally done", but enjoy your current state of affairs while it lasts!

b5pilot Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 So you think you're done now. Yeah, that's what they all say... By the way, it is a sweet looking Ric! Lydian mode?

Chad Thorne Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Pretty happy with my assortment just now, actually. I just bought a new MIM Jazz, and still have my homebuilt P and J. Think I'm going to put flats on the homebuilt J for jazz, etc., applications, but otherwise I can't think of another bass I'd want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzo9247 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Being the sick animal that I am, I ordered another Ric in Midnight Blue that was on sale for $1000, estimated ship date January 2013.

rizzo9247 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I ordered the midnight blue one as it was on sale a few weeks back and received it in not so stellar condition, so I sent it back. They had no replacements for it (after I was told there was), so after a little back and forth, I was told I can have any other color, and opted for the mapleglo above. Here is the Midnight blue model I had for a couple of days, really a brilliant color. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r279/rizzo9247/IMG_20110808_171605.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b5pilot Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 It is a very sharp looking blue bass. Out of curiosity what was wrong with it? Lydian mode?

rizzo9247 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 There was a paint chip near the input jack binding and some overpolishing/swirling in the finish. I'm really digging the mapleglo however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizzo9247 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Ha! I'm not in love with it, the "quirks" of owning a Ric are starting to grind my gears, and my new replacement is a stellar instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
