strange, I've been searching the site and can't find a pic of a Ric in this same color. It's like a Fireglo burst, but with a brown fade, there's no red- it's like amber to brown fade. Wonder if they did a custom job for him. Now I gotta find out! (after some google image searching, I'd say it's either Autumnglo or Montezuma brown, neither of which are available now)

Yep, those rickies are made for Rotos- what a sound!
I find DRs are similar, or Warwick Black labels.
I bought a bunch of the gold strings John Entwistle used to use on ebay once, they were pretty zingy too, but it's hard to beat good ole Rotos.

let me know if you get that thing recorded, I'd like to hear it.
I think we may have snuck the mystery Ric onto our upcoming album somewhere
