Yes. lets get ON track, Rickenbacker people!!!
So sure my picture looks like day-old
Haggis...
Didn't I tell you that?? Did't I?
But no- you went right ahead and demanded I post some more of my..
NEW FireGlo 4003-
Oh, wow, am I liking this Bass...
But you see, the POS camera was a GIFT from my Father who three years back, at age 94 was not as technologically hip and adept at modern devices, so he mail-ordered for this ****** thing that takes pix like...
Not that I'm exactly gonna win prizes, even with a Leica, but let me continue, for THAT is the track...
Some Pics-that's me, next to last, stage right... off of Catalina Island, several years back... With a Bluefin Tuna, that I caught on 12-lb test!!! I said.... 12-lb test. Now granted, this was only a "football" tuna, maybe 15-lbs, and the other schoolies that day were 20-30 lb class-
But just as you here know Rickenbackers in their glory- What it TAKES to catch a Bluefin Tuna on 12-lb test...
Listen... RESPECT!
Then below, is an autograph from none other than Ron Carter, when he performed at ...wow... Catalina Jazz Club (hmmm-didn't even think of that...) with his
nontet....You might imagine there was superb bass playing that evening.
Nontet- think about that!
But the Point-
This is the most interesting thread on RRF- It should win a prize.
Drama, Pathos, Sex, Boredom, Insultry flying, subtle put-downs---Think about it...
"The Box"
Started by a Man who 3 weeks ago- didn't even have a Rickenbacker Bass, never even played one.
Then- A Laredo ! Oh Joy, Oh enlightenment!
And now-
"The BOX"-
the story of a newbie to RRF, posting about his awe and reaction to the Classic Ric Bass, a 4003-
Asking for help with colors (remember "VOTE!"? sure ya do...)
So the saga continues, perhaps destined to go on forever and ever, as I humbly come to you all, for support and LOVE, and endure the "numpty" slings and arrows of those who would TOY with the heart of a Bassist just sayin'...he digs his Ric, and it does a lot of things his other 7 basses didn't do and...
So THAT is the point...A celebration of my writing skillz, enlightening some, fascinating others, pi**ing yet others off- FORCING them to read, sickening yet others, but ignored by few.
SO come--- break out pics from your galleries. continue to the logevity of this -
It's all unified and it's all good.
Hey, I can get back to the bass anytime- I'm feelin' it and gettin' it all
schweaty, but don't worry-
I wipe it down before lovingly placing it back in the case...
So have at it...
I'll be here listening...waiting...
