DK567. Pressure does that to you. :D
I love that edit button. Amazing how you can change history!

Congratulations, Brett. You've added an incredibly rare bass to your growing Rickenbacker collection.

For everyone else's benefit, Brett is a first class nice guy, who is a load of fun to hang out with, a dedicated family man and will do anything to help out a mate.

He is fully deserving of this fabulous trophy. :mrgreen:
Darren, you are too kind. :oops:

You can now add to the list a poor, washed-up ballet dancer that will do anything for a dollar. Very reasonable rates. Bookings can be made through Trott Management. :shock:

Seriously, I just feel blessed to have had the opportunity to hold a piece of history in my hands. Rest assured, it will be well looked after, loved and played as it was intended to be.

Most certainly underpriced, in my opinion. Makes the deal even sweeter!

Glad to see another beautiful RM in good hands.
Congratulations!!!
Dont spare the horses when you plug in....just crank it up!

Like I said it surely sends out the message to Rickenbacker that this is THE bass to reproduce in all its glory.
