Ahhh...a Bernie Rico man...
One of my old bassists used to play an Iron Bird and Mockingbird basses.
I was always a Fender & Spector man when it came to basses.
Guitars, I've owned several, among them-
Ibanez Vinnie Moore Signature Series (splattered paint finish with DiMarzio pickups)
Ibanez RG770 (Red sparkle)
Ibanez RG570 (Blue)
Ibanez RG550 (Desert Sun Yellow...the Vai color)
Ibanez Lonestar Jazz electric acoustic
Hamer Centaura (with EMG actives,Black Granite)
Ovation Amadas electric accoustic (flame top translucent brown burst)
And my personal facorite-
1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom, (Cherry Sunburst, Gold hardware)
Sadly, I traded it for some PA equipment... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
I quit playing guitar and took to singing, so I needed PA more than a guitar....
Me in the mid-90's
I still have the Ovation and a Fender Jazz Bass. I've got a screaming Marshall tube combo amp in the garage, but I haven't plugged into it in several years, as I don't have an electric guitar anymore.
Oh well.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
