Oh, and in mentioning of the Big Muff... Peter used one of the Army Green Russian ones on the Monster album. I also believe he's used some compression and chorus as well as fuzz and delay. On the video I have from '84, along with the 360, Peter also used a 330-12 in Burgandyglo. I did a list once of...

There is one pic of my 360 on the out-of-date gear page on my website (a combination of being lazy and spending more time playing than online recently) the gear page is http://www.masterofdarkness.net/equiptment.html I was using Budweiser as an example. I don't like the stuff either. I'm a fan of Mo...

Here's a possible continuation of Corey's listing: First, an amendment: 3) your choice of Mudflap girl or skull & crossbones (pics from '84 to '92 show the guitar with this sticker) and with or without let's active sticker on lower horn. additionally: 6) Schaller straplocks standard. 7) optional...

Even Darker Days can be good to listen to... but only in small doses. That album seems somewhere between amateurish and overdone, IMO. But Boylan Heights (which is best listened to all the way through) and Fun and Games are excellent (the other albums have their own degrees of good, but I do like th...

I have one Let's Active CD. I don't really care for it much. If you ask me, everyone into early REM, Let's Active and similar bands MUST get a hold of a copy of the Connells' second CD "Boylan Heights" (which was produced by Mitch Easter,) if they don't already have it. It's one of my favo...

In the interest to adding something to an older thread.

The video for the R.E.M. song "Crush With Eyeliner" has a Green Burst Rick in it... It resembles the 360WB pictured in the Bacon/Day Rickenbacker book.

Just thought I'd throw that in, since I didn't see it mentioned.

Entwistle is a guitar collector. He owns a few hundred guitars and basses... I don't believe he ever really used the 4005 outside of recording (music to television) studios. He used a Rickenbacker 4001S, Danelectros, Precision bases, Gibson Thunderbirds, Alembics, Warwicks, and Status basses on stag...

Actually, there is something somewhat special... the neck shape of his original 360 (made somewhere between '74 and '81 when he got it) had a thicker neck shape, which was only made for about 10 years or so (if I'm not mistaken.) Peter prefers this neck shape to others RIC has used over time. As for...

The main Rickenbacker was a JetGlo 4001, most likely a late '60's to early '70's ('73 at latest, I think.) The neck pickup is a toaster-top and the bridge was replaced with what looks like a BadAss II from the pictures I've seen, there's also some white pickguard-like material around the bridge, in ...
