Lovely tone - amazingly upright like for an electric

At risk of going OT slightly, here's a guy I spotted on Youtube who is amazing on a fretless Rick

I remember seeing Lindisfarne in the early '70's headlining in at the Green's Playhouse in Glasgow. I was so blown away by the sound from the bass live, I saved up and bought a S/H Rick 4001 fretless 12 months later.

BTW, the support band was Genesis who were promoting the Foxtrot album. So, at a guess, it must have been around '72 - '73.

I saw Genesis supporting Lindisfarne at Birmingham Town Hall but top of the bill were Van Der Graaf Generator.

Too many people judge Rics without ever trying one :)

How about I bring my 4003FL down to Brighton some time mate and try your Takamine?

You're very welcome to come down but please don't bring the Ricky because I have enough problems already. :)
