    I had a Gibson Rd artist lead guitar. Amazing instrument. Took it Hollywood. My friends in the studio loved playing it. Country went into recession. I sold it to someone for $600 so I could keep my horses fed. Missed that guitar fast action. Great guitar you could tell even not being there when someone fired it up.

    Part of the late ‘70’s prog & fusion bass guitar explosion. The RD guitar is more New Wave/Power Pop.

      Armstrong is a slept on bass player, his tone is insane, love me some JLP as well.

    I bought a 79 rickenbacker, and 78 jazz bass, and the last bass on my list is a 70s RD bass. They’re the coolest Gibson bass imo

    It’s a choice, I suppose. For those of us P and J players, it all seems so unnecessary and even distracting from the music. May be why they are so uncommon and no longer made. Welcome back, Greg. The only reason I watched the whole episode. LOL.

    Moog rhymes with "rogue." Bob Moog would want his name pronounced the right way.

    I don't know if anyone from the shop watches these vids and reads the comments but in these times of ID theft you really should obliterate the driver's license number and social security number. I know this was popular back in the day to have those numbers on anything for identity purposes but today - it's not good at all.

    Krist didn’t use an RD on the VMA’s. That was a Ripper bass.
    Krist famously used an RD.
    But it did not appear at the VMA’s, and was not involved in that incident.
