Another Rickenbacker bass shot
I was looking for images of the Leaves of Hey Joe fame and found this:
Don't let democracy end democracy.

Cool. I didn't know about The Leaves. Their Wiki entry makes great reading.
Re: Another Rickenbacker bass shot
Their original hit version of Hey Joe is stellar. Hendrix' sounds like a mashup of Tim Rose's tempo and the Leaves arrangement and bass line. The video I'm most familiar with features a Hofner violin bass so I was surprised to see this pic. Who knows, they could have been at the promo shoot with the guitars handed to them by their manager. "Here, hold this for a sec." BTW, libratune, thanks for the blow up!

Re: Another Rickenbacker bass shot
As most bands were from that time, their choice of instruments (at least in the picture) shows a Beatles influence. In that shot, a Rick "round body" 360 (can't tell if it is a 12 or 6), Gretch Country Gentleman, and Rick 4001. And if he had a Höfner 500/1, then ditto!

That photo is not The Leaves... it's The Cryan' Shames
