The Rarest Rick, Rickenbacker Banjo?

[dph]

Anybody see this on eBay? Anyone ever heard of these before? I don't play the banjo, nor do I have $6k to start trying, but this think is pretty cool: http://cgi.ebay.com/RICKENBACKER-BANJO- ... 286.c0.m14

I guess they are pretty rare. Part of that late '60's purple patch. I love 'em!

I only know it because it's listed on http://www.rickenbacker.me.uk/www.ricke ... odels.html (scroll down - some nice stuff on that site).

What's more rare, the Banjoline or the Bantar?

I would have thought the Bantar.......or maybe the 6005?

Ronnie Wood hauled out a Banjoline when the Stones played the SARS concert in Toronto in '03. Insobriety at the time prevents me from remembering much else, but I thought that choice of instrument was pretty cool.

Hey Graham, do you have any recordings of you on the Banjoline or the Bantar?

[wittyair]

Each of these are the rarest Rick as there is only one of each extant.

[cjj]

In terms of color, anyway...

[Bighouse]

Even rarer than this?

Hey Graham, do you have any recordings of you on the Banjoline or the Bantar?

Graham's late 60's bantar with a late 60's 4005 bass... Almost what you asked for, just no Graham.
