An actual foto of me on the forum! :lol: I realize you all would much rather look at any one of my Rickenbackers than at me so the question was raised, which bass. After struggling with that very question for quite some period of time, I decided all of them! Since it would be impossible for me to "wear" them all at the same time without causing damage to most of them, I decided to post this foto. Technically It's not a foto of me "playing" my Rickenbacker but I think you'll all agree it's way better.

Oh, for the record, I am smiling. Don't believe me, you got to see my "mad face". :D

Paul,

Ha! I was waiting for someone to ask! She's been a bad girl and was, sent to the nunnery. Nah, she has a few issues to sort out. I pulled her out of the case for another foto shoot, which was foto of the week on FB a month or so ago. Here is that foto, without my mug in it. Thankfully During this foto, Snow White decided to try to leave the foto and take TVY with her. I nearly broke my neck to prevent that from happening. I either need more stands or less basses. I vote for more stands!! :D

No, not spell check, totally me. That'll teach me to try to type without my "old guy" glasses...


Oh hey, maybe if he thinking they're infested with lice, he'll sell 'em to me cheap... Yeah, that's it. That's what I was trying to do...

CJ, cheap is a relative term! :D Unfortunately one will be going on the market this fall. I gotta subtract before I can add.

Still better than division. Getting rid of fractional portions of instruments gets messy, quick! :lol:

I think you are seeing a reflection of the fan on the edge of the body right next to the single output jackplate. Makes it look like the longer jackplate. :)

How many do you want me to add to it? :mrgreen: Paul is probably right, either the fan, or possibly, the concrete floor.
