Red Neck

Post by specky »

Dear Forum,

I'm interested to know if anyone out there who owns a Redneck wants to sell it? I am very interested because I have a Blackstar and a Tuxedo that are mint and would love to have the Trinity. I hope I'm not asking this question in the wrong place. Long live Rickenbacker basses and their players.

I had a Redneck 8-string for sale a few months ago, and there was definitely NO waiting line for it. Actually I did not get ANY bite from members of the forum. It seems to me that these are very special instruments with limited availablity, but also little demand. I finally sold to a french girl who also used to post in this forum, maybe she got tired of it already if you are lucky :-) But as I said: it was an 8-string, so presumably not everybody's cup of tea...

You also need a Shadow for the superfecta.

Oh, and welcome! Pics would be nice.

Always like showing Ted Staberow's Triumvirate. The Tux is yellowed a bit, but otherwise the set is near mint.

Welcome to the forum, Robert! :)
Good luck with the search for a Red Neck.

Technically, for that one would need one each of these:

Tuxedo
Redneck 4-string
Redneck 8-string
Blackstar 4-string
Blackstar 5-string :roll:
Shadow

Did I miss any variants? (Besides Macca's Blackstar 5-string LH?)

There has been a leftie Tuxedo sighted a couple of years ago on eBay. I have it on good authority that a custom 8-string Blackstar was made for a friend of the company. There may be others . . . .
