Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

There are very few times I have cried at the death of anyone famous, however this time I couldn't stop. Musically like an older brother and mentor, and his influence in my life will continue. I got to see him one last time in August of 2014 in Nashville and sitting in front of his bass rig getting t...

I have bought guitars from Gary at Northcoast Music and Mike Parks of the Rickenbacker page and recommend both of them highly.
