Jake, that tells me that you don't exactly need a 1998PT or 1997SPC VB to have The Who's sound. A 1997, a 360, or even a 330 may work until you finish college.JakeK wrote:... I started to play The Who's "My Generation". I couldn't believe what was happening, but I nailed the sound of the original recording. I was in shock. The Ric hollowbody sound was a new sound I had never heard when *I* played it, and it was wonderful. So I played a little of "Can't Explain". Nailed it, for the most part. ...

Remember, it wasn't until I was in my late 40s before I got my first Rickenbacker.
I believe it! I walked into the dealer and there were a good 7 or 8 Rics on the wall. Not good...especially now. Those steady paychecks that I've been drawing have been awesome, but being a teacher just doesn't get the big bucks like it should.jimk wrote:Y'know Matthew, it's comments like this that ain't helping out in the Patiently Waiting department.lennon211 wrote:There's a brand new FG 360/6 at my local Ric dealer along with one in MID and JG (which looks charcoal in certain light).

Um, I got my first Rick at 17, my '67 4005WB JG.
