Vid is no longer available, but I do have a video to contribute of my own!

You'll see the odd Rickenbacker in old blues bands. What a great band he had.

That's pretty interesting, actually. I was just wondering about Ricks and blues and how they would go together. Now I know! Anyone know of any Ricks used for lead on blues songs? I know I saw a picture of SRV playing one once, but I think that's about it, other than John Fogerty and John Kay, if they count as blues at all.

Who was the band in the video which won't play BTW?

Darren Trott played some mean SRV blues on my 381/6 at the So Cal Rick Confluence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Y5NfEBGW0

Ray Wylie Hubbard and the Lost Gonzo Band. It was an excellent version of "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mothers". The bass player has an MG 4005WB.
