Hi guys. Sorry I haven't been on the Forum in a while, have been busy at work and at home with various projects. Thanks so much to all who replied to my questions- great info and answers. You guys in the greater Rick family are the absolute best. Really glad that Rickenbacker referred me to this For...

I generally like to play stuff that has a harder more aggressive edge to it- early Who, Kinks, Beatles, Stones etc. all the way to the Stooges(big fan), MC5, garage-y psych, early punk/new wave e.g. Ramones, Jam, Clash, Buzzcocks; glam a la Bowie, Mott the Hoop...

Brian or whoever- more pics.

Thanks for the info though- I appreciate it. You guys are being very helpful. Hey Brian from Hamilton, Ontario: H...
