Hi guys...
I was a member here a while ago so, I decided to come back in join in on the fun! My name is Jon and I have a pretty good bealtes/rickenbacker collection. Here's a couple pics....

I'm currently looking for a 360V64 12 string to go with my collection.

Wow...what else can be said. I'm going to forward these photos to my wife, so she can see that my ownership of a mere two Rickenbackers is not as over-the-top as she thinks.

Wow.

Welcome aboard, Jon, again. Quite a nice collection you have, and not a bad shrine either.

I like the skins...

Well, your collection's a little questionable, but....

Just kidding! OMG!! The drums are great--details?

Thanks guys. The drums are an original set of Ludwig black oyster drums from 1968. I also have all of the proper ringo stands and drum head. They have the great 60's sound!

Jon - Nice collection, but is that two fakers amongst the group?

Which one is the second one, John?

Here's another one for you:

(Remember that I am not a 'real' bass player ...)

BTW, welcome back, Jon - nice instruments!

The Fireglo and Jetglo 330-lookin' ones, Paul. Bound soundhole with "black" interior, bound fingerboard too.

Well, you are most obviously a "real" bass collector/appreciator/fanatic/crazy bass kinda guy.

Good stuff!

Mick, you've never seen Gary's guitar collection! I'd say it damn near outshines the basses.

Also, that pic is outdated - missing is the 4005RM!

Welcome Jon, nice stuff.

Granted, I should be doing nothing but DROOLING over your collection...But, in your third picture...Do I see a couple of Michael Myers' masks???

John, it's actually missing more than just the RM3261 ... there's the 4003 Shadow, the 4003 BB, the 4003S/5 SPC Quasi-Blackstar ... did I forget any others?
