Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Just kidding!

Mike W: Missed you at the show. Got there around noon and left when they started turning out the lights. Walked both rooms with Graham and Pete (the Odd Couple) and RC joined us for lunch. Lots of stuff to see but luckily I didn't feel compelled the buy anything. Graham and Pete: Sorry we got split ...

Hi Mike,

Could you bring that Byrds DVD-R that wouldn't play on your machine? I want to see if I can do something with it. I'm putting together of compilation of Byrds TV performances.

Thanks,

Randy

I'll be there. I live about 30 minutes away. I usually arrive around noon on Saturday, because I don't like waiting in line when the doors open.

Mr. Hall, I've owned several dozen Rickenbacker guitars over the years ranging in vintage from '64 to '07. Some of these guitars react almost immediately with my stands (notably those built in the late 1980's and early 1990's), while others do not. My stands are all over 15 years old. I purchased a ...

The Smoke were 'big in Germany' just like Creation were. Both of these British bands had albums out in Germany but only singles in the UK. The Smoke also recorded and issued records as The Shots and a few other aliases. As I recall they also served as a house band for the Morgan Bluetown record labe...

Mike: Speak for yourself. If I could sell all of my 50+ guitars, I could probably buy something quite nice!

I've got an '80 320 BG that I bought used in the early '90's for $320. It came with nickel Kluson tuners. I've since modded it with RIC reissue toaster PU's, TRC, knobs, Accent and silver case. Now it looks like a 325v63 in BG. It mostly sits in its case, because I never play it. I've since purchase...

Graham: Obviously, I'll be around in Dallas and Arlington when you and Peter come through. We can make plans as the time gets closer. Although I quit drinking a few months ago, I figure I'll be due for a total relapse in October...

Craig: I'm sure what you found is a 360v64 built in the 1990's that has had the truss rod cover and pickguards swapped for gold. I may have seen the guitar in question hanging in a local Guitar Center a year or two ago along with a 360/12v64 JG. Both of them had been converted to gold. I've got a '9...

Jake: Very cool. I've just lately wanted to learn 'Road Runner', so I'll need to checkout WhoTabs. Although I've always loved the version recorded by The Pretty Things, I recently heard a super sloppy version by an all-girl band called The Headcoatees. They thrash through several old Bo Diddley tune...

Didn't Aunt Mimi show John the proper way to wear pants? Being as this is John, I'm sure he's just trying to make a sardonic statement regarding something or other. Backwards pants aren't always just backward pants...or maybe they are!

I've got an '80 320 BG that is identical to this guitar. My guitar came with nickel-plated Klusons. I can't see enough detail to see if these are the same, but they look correct. I got mine in '92 for $320 without a case. It now resides in a silver reissue case and has been fitted with toasters, Acc...

Although I'm not a keyboard player, I owned several vintage keyboards up until last year. I had a '67 Vox Jaguar, a '68 Vox Jaguar and a near mint '68 Vox Super Continental. The Super was the dual keyboard version. Although I had always planned to learn how to play them, I decided to sell my Thomas ...

Bill, My first Casino was a single pick-up '66 model with an ice tea sunburst. I bought it in '85 ($225) and I sold it back in '03 ($1800) when I got my Elite ($800). I never thought I'd find a guitar I liked better than the '66 but the Elite blew it away. As far as Epi archtops, I currently own: '9...
