Fellow Rickenbacker Fanatics (and I say that with much affection and love), please read the following excerpt from a piece in the Globe and Mail newspaper by Rheal Seguin, regarding Paul McCartney arriving in Quebec City for his outdoor concert this past Sunday night...
"Sir Paul waved to the crowd as he got off the plane and walked toward his limousine. Many had lost hope that he would stop to sign their cherished Beatles memorabilia at least not until he came across a diehard Beatles fan who held-up a Rickenbacker bass guitar similar to the model Paul McCartney played. He asked his limousine driver to stop, took the man's felt pen and autographed the guitar before rushing off to the Château Frontenac hotel in the Old City".
So, which one of us was this? A very creative way to get an autograph! Nicely done.
But...who would be so brave/foolish as to take their prized bass into that situation, even if it were only a hundred people waiting for McCartney at the airport?
Okay, which one of us was this????

It was most assuredly not me........but I sure as hell wish it was!

It wasn't me, but I hope to be getting an autograph by Sir Paul later this year.
A guy I know just got hired by some band in NYC, and one of his gigs later this year is supposed to be as a backing band for McCartney. I'm going to send an extra pickguard for my V63 and a Sgt Pepper CD with him to get signed. It's worth a shot!

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'd want to wade through throngs of McCartney-crazed fans wielding my C64S, but I sure would let the man sign it if I could. The back of the headstock would work for me.expomick wrote: But...who would be so brave/foolish as to take their prized bass into that situation, even if it were only a hundred people waiting for McCartney at the airport?

He wrote on the guy's bass? What a jerk! Probably need a refin after that!

I think Paul McCartney is right-handed except for when he plays bass...
