So whats the must have rickenbacker ?

Post by BILLYC58 »

Ive always wondered Since their are so many great models to choose from witch one do you think is the one every rickenbacker fan should have in their collection ?
My guess would be the 325c58 because of its history.

For me it was an '83 330 JG... now that I have that one, it would be a Capri or a Combo 800 for sure.
Great Ramp In My Opinion.

RM1999..... after playing Eden's I am hooked.....

I'm not demanding though - I'd settle for a '60s 4001S.

1. I'd like an early to mid 80s 330, 6 or 12 string once owned and given to me by a future buddy, Peter Buck...is that too much to "want"? We'll use it if I can then resurrect one of my dream gigs/bands, a new version of the Hindu Love Gods, with Pete, Mike and Bill, and of course, me trying my luck on vocals! It's fairly obvious who I'd like to produce, if I don't try it myself.
