Re: Tony Garnier
Tony has been playing a Rickenbacker bass during Bob Dylan's most recent tour. Looks like maybe a 4001 with 1/2" spacing? [youtube]http://youtu.be/t6kz2-Q-TYw[/youtube] Tony has been playing with Bob Dylan since 1989 and usually plays Lakland or Fender basses alternating with a double bass. He ...

Re: Anyone have a toaster and HB1 in the same guitar?
Yes, I have tried that! I liked it, actually. I tried it both ways, and dug the way they complimented each other. I personally preferred the HB1 in the neck and the toaster at the bridge because it gave a real Grestchy kind of tone, to my ears. Having the toaster in the neck with the HB1 at the brid...

Re: NAMM 2014
I'm somewhat surprised that RIC hasn't made an all-Maple guitar in this oil-finish style. The standard 330/360/4003 body and neck wood is maple, so they'd just need to alter the neck/fretboard design, and give it an oil finish. Personally I'm not super keen on dark and light woods together, but I th...

Re: New Vid - McCartney Rick Sighting
I don't think Paul has sweat over that bass in many, many years. From the photographic evidence, I'd imagine it's possible that his bare wood Rickenbacker got pretty sweat-logged after the '72 and '75-'76 tours, not to mention recording on a boat with it in '77. I wonder if it's coincidence that he...

Jeff Tweedy played an old 365 FG at their concert in Central Park, and there are a few photos on their facebook page. I hope he continues with it!

Re: Flight Case for 325
I haven't flown with my 1996, but... I recently flew to England and back with a bass in a gig bag and had no trouble at all carrying it on. I flew British Airways and they tucked it away in a coat closet on board. I also flew point-to-point in the United States with my grandpa's '63 Gibson SG Specia...

Re: Groovy Beatles pictures
Hey Keith, haven't I seen that jacket somewhere before?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_first_rays/5441548507/
Looks very similar to John's Rubber Soul jacket, doesn't it?

The Long and Winding Road
This song has always been a little mysterious to me. It's one of Paul's best late period Beatles songs, and certainly he must have recognized that he had a good one on his hands when he wrote it. And of course, Phil Spector's treatment of it for the Let it Be album was cited in Paul's decision to le...

Re: ANY (ROCK BAND) BEATLES SONG. ISOLATED TRACKS!
Yesterday I was sure the bass on Something was the Hofner, and I thought I had good reasons for thinking so, but today the slides on the intro sound throaty like the Rick. Man, talking about tone coming from the fingers of the player...

Re: Just purchased this - Rickenbacker 320 1989
Could the difference in sound be attributed to the different pickups? Newer 325s have toasters while your new '81 320 has hi-gains. And I'm sure putting on new strings will help too.

Re: ANY (ROCK BAND) BEATLES SONG. ISOLATED TRACKS!
I have to say, Something really sounds like the Hofner to me. I wasn't sure until the very last note. The 'bwow' and pitch warble sounds like an effect of the short scale.
And actually, listening to all these isolated bass tracks, I'm really surprised at how driven/distorted and attack-y they are.
