I think they're still together, or at least were at some time recently. I heard them in an XM Radio studios live gig not too long ago. I could tell it was them before the announcer said so.
Re: It's A Mod Mod Mod Mod World!
Yeah, they still gig. I too heard them on XM. While my middle daughter was home from college over one summer I was on a vinyl kick and I pulled out the Recycled album and she really enjoyed that. Still good music.aceonbass wrote:I think they're still together, or at least were at some time recently. I heard them in an XM Radio studios live gig not too long ago.

Mid of '70ies, they lived in Seeheim close to my hometown Ober Ramstadt and had their rehearsal room (an old dancing hall of a pub) in my village Wembach. However those days I was just a beginning teenager and not interested in their music until the '80ies.

Minneapolis area, actually, but really enjoyed my visit to Milwaukee last summer. I see that your profile says you're from around there; if you haven't seen that Les Paul exhibit, it's well worth a look. I'd love to see a similar show someday featuring historic/prototype Rickenbacker stuff, in case anyone is listening.bassduke49 wrote:Troy, are you in Wisconsin? Milwaukee?

You really do need a JG 4003 to complement your new AFG 4003.

That show took place at the Museum of Making Music in Carsbad, CA, during the Rickenbacker 75th Anniversary celebration, a couple of summers back. It was a well-produced overview, although not all-inclusive. Perhaps some of our members who attended could post some photos.Machead wrote:Minneapolis area, actually, but really enjoyed my visit to Milwaukee last summer.

I just noticed this topic. WOW! Lots of cool stuff here. I'll have to post a couple of my modded basses when I can find the "before" photos. LOVE that flame job on your 4004Cii 'Blackstar,' Brian!
Re: It's A Mod Mod Mod Mod World!
We've been wondering when you might came around to the party! 
Re: It's A Mod Mod Mod Mod World!
I know. I should have gotten here sooner. I'm beginning to realize that showing "fashionably late" is stupid.
I could show the stuff I have now, but I'd like to find the pics I have of the basses before they were changed to give the full effect. One a deze days...
