Bill Mumy's Rickenbacker Comments

Hi There, Bill Mumy here. This photo is my beloved fireglo Rick 360 six string. It's the very first electric guitar I ever purchased. It's a '68. I bought it new from the Guitar Center on the Sunset Strip in '68 with a 4X10 Standell amp. I still have both to this day. That guitar is currently set up as a "Nashville tuned high strung", and it rings like a bright autoharp. I recently used it on one of four new songs recorded for "Yeah: The Essential Barnes & Barnes" which will be released May 9th on Oglio records. I also have a 360 WB 12 string in fireglo, that I've used on many recordings, (it's one of the first ones they reissued. I put a McGuinn bridge on it.) I have a great 4001 bass, that is a gorgeous Autumnglo. It was used extensively on the second Jenerators CD, "Hitting the Silk" Varese Sarabande, '98, and has also been featured on many Barnes and Barnes recordings. I also own a '49 Rickenbacher bakelite lap steel guitar that I used on one of the four new B & B songs. I have owned many many other Rickenbackers in my day, but currently those are the ones in my arsenal. John Hall has always been nice to me, and the folks at Rickenbacker have helped me out over the years when I needed something fixed or replaced. I've used Ricks on many different projects including my studio work with "America". Long live the jangle. Peace, Bill Mumy
