Is that a Ric?

[Bobo_Grimmer]

I was just checking out a Marco Minnemann track on youtube and noticed a strainge set up in a ric looking bass. Does anyone know if what it is? Just out of interest really. Also it's a kicking track.

Yes - looks like a 4001S or a 4000 modded to take a single P pickup.

More interesting (to me, at least) is Paul Gilbert playing a vintage JapCrap LP copy - it's an Ibanez Deluxe 59er, pre 1976. Respect.

Jon.

He's got an enormous collection of vintage Ibanez guitars.

The early 70's Ibanez is probably much better than anything that ever came out of the Gibson factory. However, both amps must be crap as they breakdown halfway through leaving the overplaying drummer on his own (he proceeds to sound like he fell down the stairs carrying his drums )
