Why no 500's?

Post by fireglo67 »

Browsing through the excellent Register I noticed that Rickenbacker have never produced any kind of model with an associated number in the 500's. I wonder why. Superstition? Saving it for something special? :lol:

Sure they did. There were the Console 500 Series steel guitars...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Aye, but it's the 'Console 500' not the '500 Console' isn't it?

Well, they do actually refer to several models without using the "Console" prefix in the old catalogs...
