For those interested, here are photos of my hand after surgery. If you’re squeamish, don’t bother to look (but they’re really not that bad at all). http://s135.photobucket.com/user/FirstBassman/media/Forum%20Graphics/Handat10Days_zpsedbbab7e.jpg.html http://s135.photobucket.com/user/FirstBassman/me...

That is very encouraging news, Alex. Thanks! Actually I am amazed at how fast the stiffness is healing. I can now completely close my hand. I don’t want to turn this into an old folks talking about health issues thread, but there is still some tightness overall and the first knuckle is still sore f...

Whew.

At first I thought, "I've been gone for two years and this is still being discussed?"

Good to know it's just an old thread being resurrected.

Some of you might have noticed that I have only posted two or three times in the past two years or so. One of the major reasons was that I suffered from Stenosing Tenosynovitis (also known as Trigger Finger) on my fretting hand and couldn’t play at all. I reasoned that if I couldn’t play, why read ...

I guess I should add some additional information. None of the illnesses or other medical situations I experienced during the past year are serious or life-threatening. More of a nuisance and inconvenience than anything else. Sorry for alarming anyone. I have looked into some solutions for the flexo...

I have not posted here in a very, very long time. Once I acquired the RICs that I had really wanted (a 360/12 MG and a 380L) there seemed little reason to do any online talking about Rickenbacker. Also, for various reasons (parents’ health and eventual deaths, personal health issues) and now a bout...

Steppenwolf using 2 Ric's in this song I might be being overly sensitive or nostalgic, but I'd hardly call Born to be Wild "this song." Born to be Wild is once of the most famous and one of the greatest rock songs of all time. It would be like saying look at the smile "in this painti...

and another thread from when I saw the guitar for sale on GC website: http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=386017&hilit=guitar+center+kantner Wow! I'm even mentioned in that thread. Sorry, I don't recall seeing it at the time otherwise I would have replied. I always suspec...

Here is a rare photo of Jorma when he played lead of a 360/12:

Paul sees himself as a very modest guitar player. But I think he did some wonderful work with his RIC 12. I will try and post some examples for you this weekend. Here is one easy example of Paul's great RIC 12-string playing. The great interplay between his rhythm and Jorma's lead on the intro to &...

Here ya go . . .

IIRC, Iron Butterfly passed on Woodstock because their demand to be flown in on a private jet at the promoters expense was denied. They probably regretted that later. Well, they didn't exacty pass. They had a gig the day before and were stuck in New York City. I think if they had driven close by, l...

musiciansfriend. I have no experience with them. Is this a legit company I have spent much more money than I care to admit with M/Friend. They are a very legit company and I have always had great experience with them. Side note - they are the same company as Music123, Guitar Center and a couple of ...
