Yes, we all know that Rickenbacker doesn't make basses that are not electric.

I like the use of the definite article.
"The Rickenbacker Electric Bass" sounds like it's "The One"....and only....

Maybe the book should be titled "Rickenbacker - The Modern Electric Bass - 50 Years As Rock's Bottom" then. :wink:
