Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I posted a while ago about this, but any Colorado Ric fans want to meetup?

FG absolutely, Paul mucked up the bass when he painted it and took the finish off.

Well I hope that's a Spinal Tap reference!

Oh...is that....is that a song?

Well, I guess I missed this. Rats, I really wanted to play 'Big Bottom'....

Does anyone know what became of Weller's Ruby 330? I recall the anecdote from Foxton and Buckler's book of him throwing it in the air because of tuning problems (I speculate that this action did not solve the tuning problem). Perhaps it became firewood.

I got an email from the Macca scrambled eggs -- Rockshow out on DVD June 11th.

Cool! Jimmy McCulloch.

Best voice in The Eagles too.

All the bass in the 'Rockshow' film, which I still cannot find on DVD; just like 'Let It Be'. What's up with that?

I really like the Motorhead album with 'Stay Clean' on it, Fast Eddie Clark is a great guitarist, very creative.

All those early Jam videos are fun, Foxton on his 4001 in Redglo....Roseglo....Merlotglo...

That sounds like fun. I have family all over the Toronto area. Oh well, maybe next year.

Oh sorry; I thought you were playing a Rickenbacker bass through that Buckingham! OK, they buzz...but to me the clean tones, reverb and tremelo all sound pretty good on the SS Vox'. I've been able to live with both tranny and tube Cambridge Reverbs. In most ways the tube version smokes the transist...

I have his 4.1th [sp] version, some great stuff in that book, for sure. Do you have Gerald Weber's books? They are a must have for tube ampaholics, also.

I've got one, 'Hip Vintage Guitar Amps' I think is the title.
