Re: Aussie Roll Call
Cheers Brett,
I'm sure she'll be in good hands. I'm looking forward to being able to play a guitar where the strings are in close proximity to the fretboard.

That'll be one well-travelled guitar Rod - will it be earning frequent flier miles for you?

Re: Aussie Roll Call
Evan,
I think she clocked up a few miles in the 27 years before I owned her. I'd love to know some of her history, but she isn't talking. I'm actually tempted to fly to the States myself, drop her off and pick her up on the way back, unfortunately that's more dollars than I've got right now.

Hi all
I've recently joined the site which I found through Facebook.
I'm from Sydney and I have 2 real Rics and a related distant cousin!
My first Ric is a 1976 330 Fireglo with 21 frets which I picked up second-hand in 1979.
My second Ric is a 1966 360-12 Fireglo which I picked up in 1980.
The 'related' guitar is one Piers Crocker made for me in 2012 - it's his take on a late '50's 360F as used by Tim Rogers from You Am I.
It's nice to be here!

Re: Aussie Roll Call
I have been living in Perth since 2007 but I have followed this forum since 2000. At this point I was in living in Quebec City, Canada.
What I have learned so far...
-Mining booms then busts.
-Perth is freakin' hot in the summer.
-Perth is freakin' far away from anywhere else in the World.
-Duty fees can be very high if importing a Rick costing more than $1000.

When I was a working bass player decades ago I always loved the sound of Ric Bass, and the12 string Jangle and being a Beatles/Byrds.Who nut had some influence. Eventually I could afford one, then 2 then 3. 2 years ago I sold the 4003 and 360/12 keeping the 370 mg and just recently acquired a new 4003 .
Now I have to learn to play
Found this forum years ago, probably on google but have been absent for about 3 year s
J
Back after a long absence. Dunno why the absence. Probabl due to change of jobs and computers.
Since my Last post I have added another ric
so.. the stock list is...
A 370 MG
4003 Blue
610 flame
Plus asst "other brands" .. But. I have stopped acquiring and will probably sell down . I dont need 9 guitars and a keyboard plus amps and asst pedals.
Re: Aussie Roll Call
G'day all,
I recently joined up, thought I'd stick my nose in now that I have a '91 Ricky 620 in my collection. As a newby I'll be throwing a few questions around, most I'm sure have already been asked

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

And Bass players dont know what to do with G-strings and thongs?
Maybe thats why I am a poor bass player
