I like the binding.
I don't like the fact that the scratchplate doesn't match it.
That neck heel is utterly awful for a through-neck bass.
I don't mind Ricks [i]per se[/i] but I don't like the company's attitude to copies and the prices they charge /waiting times and all that business.
Still wouldn't buy one. Certainly not for big money.

Indeed, something I'll sadly never own. However I obtained my own personal Ric Holy Grail in Feb of this year (a '72 Azure with full-width crushed pearl, checkered binding etc) so I can live with it. :)

I did, but just saw a whole bunch of "mood lit" images where most of the bass was in darkness or blurry! I suppose anyone committed enough might print and cut out the bits that were brightly lit and assemble a collage, but you still wouldn't have enough to make a whole pic of a well lit bass!

Unless much mistaken its not new, and for this much I'd want to see what I was buying, not how "arty" the photographer!!

Was this the only model they produced with that funny 3 pin output jack in addition to the traditional stereo and mono outputs. I assume that is the low impedence output for studio work that is mentioned in the description? Never noticed one on any other rics.
