Hey Rickenbacker Fans,
I didn't know until a half hour ago that the esteemed British session guitarist Big Jim Sullivan had an endorsement deal with Rickenbacker. He is believed to be the first to own a Les Paul in England, also played Gibson 345s, but apparently used many different models of Ricks throughout his career. I found a photo of him with one and Nancy Sinatra, but its got the getty image watermark on it. Others are too pixelated to use on a projection screen. If anyone happens to have some and feels like posting I'd truly appreciate it. I'm working on a project for Friday.
Thanks for your consideration!

You could give us a link to that Getty image.

We'll see how this turns out. Turned out ok. I'm curious as to what songs this session turned out. Also, the reason he's "Big" Jim is that Jimmy Page was "Little" Jim at the sessions they'd play together.

Getty puts that watermark on it because the own the rights to the photo, right? So can you purchase it from them?
Re: Need Big Jim Sullivan/Rickenbacker Photos!
I'm sure that would be possible. I thought some folks around here may have images as well. Getty Images has some real beautiful shots and I need to look into how the system works.
