Just who is this "Rickenbacker General"? Is there a Rickenbacker army somewhere?

Could we do a "battle" of the bands against the Salvation Army?

Having my Yamaha 12 string acoustic "borrowed" and never returned was one of the biggest reliefs of my life!

J Phelps- your battle of the bands would be quite interesting... Rick guitars and basses against Christmas bells and bass drums.

By The Way.. I don't think that Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker was posthumously promoted to General... it must be someone else.

Wow, you guys sound like you really know a lot. Maybe you can help me. I bought some news bass strings and cut them three times but they're still too short. What should I do?

I also saw an ad for a bass boat. How do these work? Can I plug in my bass directly? They seem really cool, what with that sparkly paint that looks like a Kustom amp, but I can't seem to find a drum boat or guitar boat for the rest of my band. I think I'd feel pretty foolish being the only guy in the band who can play his bass out on the lake.

I've seen a photo of Neil Peart playing drums on a lake.. well, on a raft on a lake.

Don & Craig:
To answer your question.

Greg Lake was a bass player, so it is possible

I don't know if he played bass on the lake with Muddy or Roger Waters though.

So Don, are you saying that I can catch bass on my bass boat, but that I can't play with my bass? Hmm, that would explain the guy telling me he could tune a piano, but couldn't tuna fish. I really think this whole discussion is baseless.

This may sound fishy (no, not Chris Squire)...

You should have seen the Rick that got away!

Did you get a look at that bass?It had pentatonic scales and dorian fins....
