So, to introduce myself...I am greg, I play guitar and bass, but "professionally" I play Bass. I quit playing bass for several years, then Joined a Goth Death rock band called SECOND SKIN. Played Bass for them for 2 years, and then rejoined my old band AUDRA. So, for the past couple years I've been playing more bass, and the 77 ric came my way. I went to the roberto-venn school of luthiery in phx and built 2 ric-alikes, and an acoustic. I do love rickenbackers, but feel ashamed that I don't know much about them, and probably won't post like some of you hardcore ric-aholics. I am 39 and am also relearning how to skateboard! I spend alot of time on the OLD MAN ARMY skateboarding website..30 or deader. I work for UNO guitars, who is the USA contact for guitar parts from SUNG-IL in Korea, as well as TESLA guitar pickups, and of course UNO guitars. I have the most respect for Rickenbacker for not making a cheapie line called rickensquire. So there I am, kinda.
I'll try to get better pictures, as some of your pictures are amazing.
- Old picture, 3 years ago??
and will never be available for sale...ever. In the meantime, I have noticed that as much as everybody hates the rickenfackers, you spend alot of time talking about them, thus...have a go. I am just getting the 77 together, gots to make a nut today, and once it's up and running, I'll add some pics of it, then some better pics of my other one. The two I made, I made them for myself as an excercise, as a requirement...I was at school, and everybody was making telecasters and such. I don't build guitars now, as I just have a gtr parts desk job.The one is a 6 string bass, something I have never tried to play before, but fun. I hope nobody becomes upset at these guitars.
