As I mentioned a few months ago, right around Christmas time, I've had a pretty consistent wish list for a while.
The passion reignited last week when Sarah, Brandi, Kira and I went to see Vampire Weekend. Their bassist was rocking a Rick 4003, and all I could think was, that bass line is fantastic. You know, it does now occur to me that I should probably feel bad about purchasing lavish instruments, but come on, look at that thing. Besides, once I get all cozy with a girlfriend, or fiancee, or wife, I'll never have the kind of disposable income I have now.
What I'm saying is that the 'Rick Savings Fund' is about half-way there. We're close. I'm going to be rockin' some thick sounding bass lines before you really know it.
To celebrate this, we should watch Lemmy Kilmeister play on his Rick. If the Rick is awesome enough for a guy whose last name is 'Kilmeister', it's awesome enough for me, dangit.
- New Stratocaster In Yellow - CHECK
- New TV, Since My Old One's Struggling - CHECK
- Rickenbacker 4003 - Hmm...
