I should, you're right. Maybe I'll put a Rick 4001 on my Santa list.

King Gizzard - Polygondwanaland

Fuck yeah. Always wanted a Rick. I still haven't played one of their basses, kinda silly to want something I've never played maybe... but they look so cool and sound so good. Ugh. I am really happy with my good Ibanez 6-string bass though, the only thing I would really want is a 5-string version of it.

Always loved the Soundgear basses. My last one was a cherry red 4 string. The neck just works for me. But nowhere near as sexy as a 4001. Plus that tone....

Fucking things are going for $4,000 used though. I don't play the bass but may I ask why you covet the pre-1981 4001 and not the "new and improved" 4003? Is it the neck? Electronics? Or you just like vintage shit?

I'd take either, but if someone else is paying, 4001 all the way. but yeah, I will always choose vintage if given the choice. Shit was just made better then. That's why all of my receivers are 1970's model. They're rock solid and sound "just right". I'm not sold on the improvements either. Besides, I will probably only ever to get to own one, so why not go for the "one".

They're great. Even the cheaper ones set up easily and play well, and the good ones are serious instruments. Really flexible sound. I got lucky and found a used SR1006 for a good price on fleabay a few years ago. It's a big old hunk of maple, neck through, with a really nice flame on top. It's no Fodera, but I love the way it looks and it's a joy to play. 

Getting a Rick would be pretty special though.

Mine was a cheap model because I was broke as a joke at that time. It was still pretty special and so nice to play. I do miss it. Yours sounds very nice. I've always wanted another. That, a Wal, a 4001, and a Jazz bass. Pretty much the holy trinity (for me anyway) and the Ibanez.

GOJIRA - The Way of All Flesh. This is still a great album. The drum sound alone is worthy - listen to 'The Silver Cord'.

I got a lot of mileage out of that album fairly early on in my crossing over. Should spin it again. 

Acephalix – Theothanatology-This deserves another spin for sure

Candlemass-Sweet Evil Sun-Candlemass' modern output has been pretty average IMO.....first listen to this one feels like a sweet spot....will revisit.

CHAKA KHAN- Epiphany- The Best of Chaka Khan Vol.1. A compilation? 80's funk? What has come over Thatguy?...I had a dream and woke up with 'Ain't Nobody' running around in the tired old brain. What a voice. What a song.

Normal service will return shortly.

Ain't Nobody - Jon Gomm, Alex Misko & Dmitriy Toporov (Chaka Khan)
