Here's my Rickenbacker family

Hi Dan,

I presume you are asking me that question.

I currently own a 1989 Jetglo 350 6 string, a 1994 Jetglo 360/12 WB and a 1976 4001 tuxedo bass

Hi guys I just cannot resist wading in on this thread. It seemed to me (especially at the time but I know, who really remembers the 60's) that most of the good bands that came out of England in the sixties had their roots in jazz or American blues. The Mersey Beat sound for example was a fusion of a...

Peter, I ran into Randy this spring when he was in Vernon and we had a very brief chat. The subject of Rics never came up. Years ago he was always trying to get me to sell him my Les Paul Jr. I have a very early Les Paul Jr. that was used on most of our Cream and Led Zeppelin sets. He really liked t...

Yes. I dont recall the model number but it was a very popular bass in the 60's in England. Our bass player switched to a Gibson EB3 shortly after the picture was taken. The Other fellow is playing a Hagstrom. He also had a Gibson ES335. I also had (dare I say it) a Les Paul. Always had trouble with ...

Dateline for my earlier post by the way was early 60's. I came to Canada in August of 1965. My bass player and rhythm player arrived in early 1966. The only other person that I ran into in Western Canada that played a Rickenbacker guitar at that point in time was Randy Bachman. Then in the late sixt...

Then I saw Gerry (Marsden) and the Pacemakers as well as the Big Three, The Fortunes, Les Fleur De Lys, and the list goes on. Every...

Not sure where the pants went. Probably the same place socks go when they disappear from a dryer. There must be an alternate universe out there where there are a whole pile of orphan socks and clothes that went quickly out of style. lol Yeh somebody has my both of my guitars and yet another person h...

Yes. Unfortunately along with my 1964 360/12 they both disappeared in the winds of time. Gone but they are not forgotten. We played many gigs together. But I do have very able replacements so all is not lost. I hope who ever has them loves them like I did.

Here's a faded pic of our band in 1965. I was playing a 375 with gold pickguard TV knobs etc all factory installed.

Like many of you I am old now, but not quite as ugly as some. lol
