Why did you buy your Rickenbacker?

In June of 1981 I saw a Rickenbacker catalog at the music shop where I was taking guitar lessons.
The pictures of the 4001 basses floored me. They were the most incredible looking musical instruments I ever saw.

I begged the shop owner for one picture of the bass & he was kind enough to give me the catalog. Although tattered beyond recognition, I still have the catalog to this day.

Later I found out that the Beatles & Chris Squire played RICs. This only served to reinforce my adoration for these beautiful instruments.

I've always liked the unique look and sound of these instruments. Just holding one of these instruments, let alone playing one, I just knew the unmistakible quality. This IS a Professional's Instrument.
