Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks, folks! I plan on hanging around, God willing! The FB thing seems to have put a hurting on many of our old hangouts. It’s in everyone’s best interests to keep this place vibrant. So much good info here, and we dare not lose all that good work invested.

Indeed, Jeff!

Man, when I step out for a minute, apparently I really step out, lol! So weird, I’m cleaning my three 4001’s and out of the blue, it dawns on me I haven’t checked the page in a while. Miraculously, my name and password still worked. Nearing 67, I realize I’ve lost a step or two, but I was totally ...

Definitely read an interview with Chris mentioning Precision Bass. And as a trivia matter, his Jazz was Natural finish, not white, blonde or cream...

Chris used a Fender Precision Bass on that track

This may or may not even be for sale, but my pal in London came across it, and were both wondering if anyone knows the deal here. Stupid rare I suppose! http://www.fotolibra.com/gallery/693612/1967-rickenbacker-4005-left-handed/?search_hash=810087e040df7e0dda366d6a630b3f91&search_offset=0&search ...

Me and the Feb. 1975 WBT, on the back of a truck, somewhere in America...

Yeah, definitely not cool....

One thing I found over the years is to study our hero Chris Squire and figure out how he got the multitude of sounds from just one bass, and Rotosounds... :wink:
Having seen him live like 20 times, I was surprised to see how even with the amp setup, bass and strings all the same, he was getting ...

Our own Sergio Silva does great rewinds, and he's done lots of ours here, mine included. He runs the "Winding Up With The Best" forum here in the Tech section. Message him!

Also noticed the outtake pic from the '91 session for the CS poster! But no official word. I did notice they're closed for the annual factory summer shutdown for 2 weeks. Perhaps John or Ben will compose something while off?

I try hard to enjoy his favorite drink, cognac, but just can't develop the taste... The night Chris and I partied into the wee hours, we did manage to finish the bottle of Corvoisier, but man, I was dying... especially mixed with soda water like he did. Not real good.. lol

Well the humbucker idea isn't totally without merit... I'd never do it, but of the guys that did, Mel Schachers' tone on his '69 Jazz was ridiculous on the first 5 albums. HUGE. As is the 'bucker in my '65 Epi Rivoli. A mile wide. Subwoofers love it.

Next one went for $5.900. One left at $5,800 so far, a few days left.

Yes, Mark's a member. Seen more on our FB page though. And his Squire tone is peerless.
