Re: Special editions
As an example of how unpredictable Rickenbacker is when it comes to "special editions," it appears that Fuller Guitars got two "Cadillac Green" Rickenbacker instruments - a 660 (6-string) and a 4003S/5. There is no mention of Cadillac Green on the RIC website (which sorely needs ...

Re: 660/12 ????
I also have been looking at one of these. Have never owned one but would like to. Sadly, there are not enough of them on Reverb or Ebay for me to get a good idea of what they normally go for. Anyone buy one recently? Two sources of historical price information: 1. The Rickenbacker Register on this ...

Re: German Carve
I think I saw that 6-pole horseshoe pickup on Reverb.com - I have been looking for a pickup for a lap steel guitar but I wasn't quite ready to pull the trigger at the asking price. It has a lot of "character" as-is; I don't know if you can get it re-chromed if you want a like-new look. I'm...

Re: A bit of Bach for today
Jeff- Thanks for posting that - it is a truly magnificent performance, probably the best rendition/interpretation that I have heard! For those of you who might be wondering or skeptical about the clip, it is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor played on a church organ. I most vividly recall hearing ...

Your "mutt" is very cool! The cardboard dummy parts are ingenious!

Re: Craftsman style dining room
The Craftsman style is not my personal esthetic but I do admire the completeness and consistency of the vision and the execution of it here - very well done, Jeff!

Re: Who gigs with a combo amp?
Ha! Yes, cats need a proper scratching post they like and use. They can be trained to use one. The trick is to know that cats only learn and change behavior based on positive reinforcement, never negative. So yelling, swatting, squirting water, are all terrible things to do. They don't teach the ca...

Re: Exploding "R" tailpiece? Fact or fiction?
Dane's question prompted me to go to that fount of all knowledge (and misknowledge), Wikipedia, because I, too, had never heard of "pig metal". I had heard of "pot metal" and "pig iron"; here are some brief excerpts: Pot metal—also known as monkey metal, white metal, or...

Re: Mike Rutherford's Rickenbacker Basses
Just discovered this website. Great discussion of his double-necks here. But still doesn't confirm if the 360 12 string was modified and attached to the bass. I know it's not important Jason, but that's what makes it so fun!!! https://www.talkbass.com/threads/the-genesis-pun-intended-of-mike-ruther...
