Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I'll bring this one back to life.

I've wanted one of these for a long time, so I used the opportunity of this conversation to selflessly obtain one (a Korean made example from the first production run) for the purposes of research and study.

I'm interested in one too. Any review or report of experience would be appreciated.

Nice score, Joey! I'm partial to turquoise myself.

Chris Squire on "America"; Dave Meros on Spock's Beard's TKOS (or any of them, really); John Wetton on any King Crimson stuff; The Ox on "Live at Leeds"; Colin Moulding on XTC's "Nonesuch"; +1 on Pete Farndon and the Smiths; JPJ on "Houses of the Holy".

Welcome, Chris! Receiving Fragile for Christmas back in the early 70s was a turning point in my life. I can't thank you enough for the happiness your music and playing has brought to me over the years.

Hi Dave, great to see you here! I actually thought your Rick tone was more pronounced on Spock's Beard when compared to your other post Neal stuff (I liked the sitar, too). You are doing a lot of the writing now, tone wise it seems like a pretty even mix of Rick, fretless, and "other"; do you write ...

St. Louis is not a problem, although other than the zoo and the Galleria I don't know the place very well. That's what Mapquest is for, right?

When? I wouldn't be able to come down the middle two weekends in August (11 and 18), otherwise just about any time.

Sparks - Kimono My House
Simple Minds - Sons and Fascination
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the ********
The Alarm - Declaration
an 80s mixture CD of my own design

Oops, I forgot that ...

Howard, you have no idea how much I appreciate having Chris watch over my domain. Thank you so much for bringing him to my lowly alter.

Alas, I won't be truly worthy until I have a CS bass of my very own, so Alisha, while it's a great and ...

Thanks, Philip. I had a very similar experience to Shaun and now use an Ashdown EVO II preamp. I still have the SVP, though; this weekend I'll dust it off and see what happens. Does your 4001 still have the cap in it?

Bob, please! I was alluding to the Ric that got away, sir! Don't bother me with ...

Philip, that's a great tone! I have an SVP Pro and a GS212, but my Ricks never sounded that good, you have the touch! I don't know if it's cool to ask about settings, but if you wouldn't mind sharing I'd appreciate it. Oh, and I'll need a 4001...um, Bob...

Sorry, gentlemen, I dozed off. I'm up for something, depending on time and location. I'll e-mail Dean and let him know.

Back in the mid '70s you were considered to be cutting edge cool if you could somehow contrive to listen to KSHE, which is 90 miles away in St. Louis. I distinctly remember hearing "I Don't Need No Doctor" as I sat in my room surrounded by about twenty feet of Radio Shack FM antenna.
