Title: Rare Rick sighting on SNL
Post by: richbass939 on July 16, 2006, 06:28:33 AM

I know this doesn't mean much to most people but you almost never see a Rick 3000 series on stage.  I've see one once in a Cheech and Chong movie, of all places, and then last night on Saturday Night Live.  Arctic Monkey's bassist played one.  A 3000 was my first real bass.  You always remember your first.

Last month they had Primal Scream performing on the Brittish show Later and Mani played the whole thing on a Ric 3000 bass.  
 
According to several interviews he scoops up as many as possible because of their rarity and because he likes their powerful sound.
