I love the Mandolin Brothers (describing a Ric 4001): This is the standard description Rick white bound top electric bass guitar having the ?right angle? white pickguard that bears a single coil pickup in the neck position with a shiny metal surround, and a second pickup in the humongous second, or bridge position. This time-honored transducer is protected by a heavy chrome plated cover that would look at home as, say, a refrigerator handle as might be found in a home featured in Architectural Digest. The end-load chrome plated massive adjustable bridge/tailpiece is also something off of the cover of a science fiction pulp novel from 1959. In the lower treble bout are four large black rotary knobs with silver caps and a three position toggle switch with which to dial in signals from the space ship coming back this winter from Betelgeuse.
