New here..I'm a Rickenbacker Freak!

[Peacefrog35]

Ok I've lurked around here for a while and this is only my second post.I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you guys that I have enjoyed reading the wealth of information here. I love Rickenbackers!!! This all started with my love of The Beatles and it branched off from there.
I've been mostly a Keyboard and Sax guy and I figured it was time to give my Vox Continental organs and Fender Rhodes pianos some friends and 2 months later, I have 4 basses.

And as they say, no pic, no bass so here is my 1997 4003 Fireglo that I picked up 2 weeks ago.



And here she is next to my authentic German made Hofner 500/1 as I said, I am a Beatles freak!

Welcome, Christopher! Nice basses.

Want a second Höfner?

[Peacefrog35]

Lol.. I have a second Hofner. What do you have though? I kinda have a mild addiction to them.

Thanks, John!

I love this bass, but I have a new studio preamp coming in tomorrow so this has to go, unfortunately. The bass looks much nicer in the, um, flesh.

Welcome! I'm a (fairly) new Ric owner (08 MID 4003).

Cheers to your addiction!

Thanks alot! You guys are great. I feel very welcome already!

Jeff, your V63 looks beautiful. I think I replied to your thread on TB. That is a fantastic price! Someone will surely pick it up. If I didn't already have one, I would be on this in a heartbeat...bullet case too no less. Someone will be very very lucky...looks dead mint too!!

...looks dead mint too!!

It is.
