Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I'm bringing an empty vintage case!

To sell, or to carry a newly purchased Rick? If to sell, then what series is the case for?

So, your 6 BE MG is MIA.

I'm suffering from acronym poisoning...

Joey, I have an extra stand that holds three you're welcome to use.

Thanks, Dane! They aren't for me for, but in case we are short of stands for those traveling that need a stand. I have a few extras, but I just want to make sure we have enough, just in case.

I'll be bringing my '72 4001 AZG, courtesy of Dave Pascoe. I've finally managed to prise it from his clutches.

I'll also be bringing a pair of drumsticks and a whole lot o' party-hard attitude.

Not for sale, Paul...... I'm swapping the case for another for a fellow Aussie forumite.

It's OK Ron...... I won't sell it out from under you!

I'll also be taking a Rick back for another member.

Sorta like D Aitch L, hey?

I'll be bringing my 4004 MB and some amps and stands. What we don't need I'll just keep in the room... I have a HUGE truck. I am also bringing an AITCH!

I will also bring down my Gs330 and the 72 EBO, and keep those in my room unless folks want to try them out.

Probably 660/12, 650C, '67 360/12, 4001v63

I'd bring my 660 DCM, but I haven't played it, and I'd feel rotten asking others not to do so too.

I won't be bringing anything there but I plan on bringing something back home with me. Hopefully my 73 4001 will be arriving with Dale and also I'll be bringing back a small amp with me. The 4001 is in a hard case but I really don't want to check it. I'm afraid the baggage handlers would screw it up. I've heard that I can take a guitar on the plane as carry on if it's in a soft case. Is there any truth to that? I'll be flying United. If that's true I might be purchasing a soft case while I'm there. Then I may have a 73 hard case for sale but I must be absolutely sure before I make any decisions.

I'm kind of hoping you're bringing the 4005WB John

I should have:-
'42 S59
'61 4000
'58 capri
'58 375F
5002
Another '58 capri
'74 4005WB
And another '58 Capri

Oh and a '63 Framus Bass

Graham, I could definitely do that for you. I'll get to see her off!

I like it, Curmudge!!

I'll be very interested to see the Framus, Graham..... I had an early 60s one that I sold in '68.

I once had a Framus 12-string (335 Gibbie style) that had one of those multi-laminate necks and a very odd "Organ tone" volume control near the picking area, so you could do fade-ins and fade-outs. Gave it to my son; he sold it on. Nasty guitar.

My Goodness Paul/Jingle Jangle, you MUST know that MIA means missing in action. I am never going to take a Rick, or possibly anything else to a local luthier again. I could have waited until either you or Dale was available and shipped the guitar to you, and had it back before I will likely see the guitar from this luthier. It's extremely disappointing. He had always been such a dependable, and quick luthier on previous occasions, but he did start his own line of guitars during the past year, which explains quite a bit. He's set up and dressed the frets on all of my guitars for the past five years, even my Ricks. He even put this really cool guitar together for me after refinishing the neck to blend in with the body. I know it's not a Rick, but it's cool , so don't kill me for posting it, eh?:
