The Tuxedo Ric is the only bass that I will never possibly sell. It was my "Excaliber" bass back in the 70s. There was one in a music store in a mall and I would go see it every time I went there. Man, I wanted that thing but I was so broke I couldn't even pay attention. One day it was gone.
Anyway, I was in my local music store here in Tampa mucho years later and there was another one that had been custom ordered for someone and they didn't come a get it. I grabbed it right then and there. It's the only instrument my son has asked me to keep for him when I'm gone.
