cocco Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey all, My boy BT linked me to this forum so after reading a few bits i joined straight away. For arguments sake my name is Cocco. Im from cardiff(ish). I play bass in a band called Caesars Rome (www.mypsace.com/caesarsrome) and I am a traditionalist, and a firm believer in simplicity. I play generally with a pick altho use my fingers on occasion for certain tones. My gear goes like this Gibson Grabber (single pickup original 70 something) MIJ 60s jazz bass sporting custom made pickups by shed of cardiff and badass II bridge MIM 60th anniv edition p-bass Peavey T-40 Ampeg SVT Classic Ampeg classic series 8x10 sans-amp boss tu-2 Roto swing bass 45-105 strings dunlop .96 picks I have a pretty basic playing style, I play the song rather than the instrument, I think thats the way it should be. Ive always wanted a Ricky 3001 but to this day i cant find one anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Welcome Cocco - hope you enjoy the forum That's a well thunderous rig you've got there and a nice range of axes to go with. Yes, the 3001. IMO, the handsome-est of all the Ricks, though many might disagree. There was one for sale in Canada earlier this year - only $1100 (Canadian) - quite a reasonable price. Why not stick an ad in the 'wanted' section here on BC; someone might have one to unload... Have a good time here Skank Edited August 26, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
