North West Guitar Show UK.

Post by lucky »

Went to the North West Guitar Show yesterday in Manchester & there were quite a few Rickenbackers for sale.I noticed 2 new 4003's,1 4001 MG from 1974 and a large selection of Ric guitars.I had'nt seen that many Ric's in one place for a long time.A great day out.

The prices were a bit of a shock at Music Grounds Stand.I think that the JG 4003 was brand new.It was a nice day & a good show,& if i thought about it earlier we could have all met up,Pete (seyes) was also at the Guitar show as well.

Hi Shawn,
I forgot to mention the 330 (I think) lightshow that Musicground advertised recently for £10,000!!!
But why anyone would buy the non-vintage Ric basses they had at those mad prices is anyones guess.

On the upside I was nearly tempted into getting my credit card out for the Cort bass at £499. It was one of those "dont tell anyone but just for today" kind of deals.
Lots of stuff there for the six string guys but not many basses this year.

Hello Pete,i did'nt see the lightshow wish i had of though.The prices of the non vintage Rics was high,or was he passing them off as pre-vintage.The show was good though,next year we'll all have to meet up.
