Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

First of all I apologise if this post is a) In the wrong forum and b) breaching any guidelines, however... ... I've been asked to post a link to post a link to the Addanote You Tube channel. Addanote is a new way of learning an instrument. Sort of like having a one-on-one lesson by video. I'll admit...

Thank you so much Peter!

I'll pass on your compliments on the bass playing too

... here's a track that I recorded with my bassist chum moltendog.

The tune is one of his ideas. Features my 360/12, my DeArmond Starfire Special and sitar. Bass was moltendog's Fender Geddy Lee Jazz IIRC. Keys, vocals and programming by me.

The Spirit of Gav

Yep, I'd also be all over that Hofner bass. I love that thing!

Didn't that guy in My Bloody Valentine use both?

Seeing as we've revived this thread... slightly!... I'll just point out that 'that guy' Kevin Shields played Fender Jazzmasters primarily with a bit of Jaguar.

Ah, The La's! Flawed beauty. They showed so much potential but they just imploded. Lee Mavers was such a perfectionist- if I recall correctly, he completely disowned that first album as it didn't sound authentic enough. It's such a shame they never blossomed from their first record, although there a...

For the record, if anyone IS looking into a Boss compressor, I'd recommend seeking out the old CS-1, which has a 'Treble/Normal' switch. It is much superior (in my opinion at least) to the CS-2 and the treble lift allows you to jangle to your heart's content. I've used this compressor since I first ...

Did anyone pick the paisley Strat? Yeah. I didn't like what they did. They went freaky/psychedelic with their creation. They put the paisley pattern on the arm (that was cool), but the rest was ridiculously bad. http://cdn.fearnet.com/sites/default/files/images/News/TV/face_off_604_6.jpg Thanks for...

Did anyone pick the paisley Strat?

You get used to it. Personally I don't have an issue with the difference between my 360/6 and my Fenders or whatever. My 610/6 on the other hand has a very narrow neck, which was a bit of a surprise when it arrived! I was concerned that it would be awkward switching between it and other guitars, but...

Get yourself a 610, and after playing that for a while, the 360/12 fretboard will feel as wide as a motorway!

That's a lovely looking 12, by the way. Well done and welcome!

ps- nice Jazzmaster

Well, my first was (and is ) a Jetglo 2007 360/12 that I bought neew in June 2008 after almost 25 years of lusting for one. Unbelievably, I bought my second one less than a month later- a 1997 Fireglo 360/6, although it was a butchered one from ebay, so just a body/ neck. An ongoing project, I thoug...

Nice one Peter. Your guitar made me think of Mark Gardener from Ride, but I think his was a 330.

That's your first, now let's see how long it takes before you get another Rickenbacker. It's almost inevitable> It took me 25 years of lusting before I took the plunge. Now I have three!

Hi Peter- congrats on your Ric!

If you are in the UK there was a case kicking around on ebay recently for 85 quid.
There is also noe there for £160 bin or offers.

They are nice cases, but pricey.

We do several Bunnymen songs- Show Of Strength, Heads Will Roll, Monkeys, All That Jazz and Lips Like Sugar. We used to do more, as we started out as a couple of Bunnymen fans who hadn'...
