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.

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.

:mrgreen: 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. :)

I usually do not impulse buy, but when I saw the photo of my bass on the dealer's website with those great FW inlays, well, ...................

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

And restistance was futile. See result in new thread.

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.

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!

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...
