Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Things can't be too bad if there's a Rickenbacker around. Brightens one's day.

Ringo Starr! Sounds just like him. What a band!
Beatle Juice, Good God!

No worries, didn't realize it was such a pain in the butt. Bet it's a heckuva fun bass!

If you can post some pix and maybe a link for the Luddites it would be much appreciated!

It would be fun to see that new bass in action!

Boomer Remount. This weekend a replay of the boomer rock and roll show from Mid-June but with a few different musicians including a saxophone player that knows the style! Honking, soulful bliss. They don't train kidz to do this in jazz programs. Duck walking down a bar should be part of the curricul...

I second the TI Jazz Rounds. The quality is there in spades. They are low tension and it took some time to get used to that. They last forever!

That green reminds me of a Schwinn String Ray a friend had in the '60s.

A heckuva bass. One for the ages.

Have you thought about a case for that beauty? G&G have some nice options.

That is really something!

Forget Rolling Stone, Ringo made the back cover of Mad Magazine in 1964.

That was a good interview with Andy White. Thanks for posting. The clip of Lennon and Harrison was informative. Nice to see the bassman amp back there. Too bad about the ciggies.

My wife and I visited her cousin and saw these Scott Pilgrim/Funko Pop figures on the mantel:
