Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi Alex,

Very impressive website. And I bet you guys actually know how to play too. When I was your age (a long time ago), I was playing "mystery chords" and making a lot of racket. It was fun but I wasn't making music yet. Good luck to you and the band.

Well, The bass he is using is a turser, and recently we have had the headstock refinished to black and im having new tuning heads put on. We've been doing it for about 4 years now. and our guitarist just got that rick 325C58 very tinny and I see why it was such a great rythtym guitar. Sounds great on all my loving......I play the 330. Which i beleive is one of the few ricks that are very good for playing lead on. We do alot of shows around south jersey and philly. This year we are the band that has taken "revolverS" place in the First night haddonfield www.firstnighthaddonfield.org

but currently, I am very angry because we havent been listed on the website performers list and are on the time scheduale. we are on the brochures and posters though....oh and the beatle bass copy sounds really nice with flatwounds and through our T-100 cabinet, very boomy and love me do-ish

I saw "Beatlemania" on Broadway in 1975 and I was totally blown away by the act. Back then, the show included a string quartet and a full backing orchestra where needed. Lately, I've seen the act at a couple of fairs in the area and they're still good. I don't know which guys are the originals, but the McCartney guy nails him. One time at one of the fairs, the McCartney guy was running late for the show. I told them that I knew all the songs and that I would sit in until he showed up. Shortly after that he showed.

I saw Beatlemania a couple of months ago. A most excellent performance - decades were instantly peeled away and I was 15 again. The audience was very appreciative and enthusiastic, while "The Beatles" acted out every little nuance that the Beatles became known for. If you ever get a chance to see this performance, don't pass up the opportunity.

I saw Beatlemania about ten years ago, really good show, "Ringo nailed" Ringo when I saw them, was very realistic.
I was in a Beatle tribute band for about two months in Lima Perú where I am now for a short time, was a lot of fun. Most of that stuff is like falling off a log for me, I think those songs are in my subconscious.

yea, it becomes like that....and there are certain moments when one is dressed in the suit and holding the type of guitar and you just feel (but only for a split second) that you really are who you are playing...at least....ive had that happen to me

I saw the original beatlemania in 1980 as a sixth grader in Boston - it was just great; it blew me away as a kid. In Paris, there are some tribute bands, I might take my six year old to see, just for fun.

Yeah I saw them in Worcester, maybe was longer then ten years ago.

I too saw Beatlemania on Dec. 9th, 1980, the DAY after Lennon was murdered. Of course, we'd had tickets for several weeks at the time, and no one was sure if the show would go on, but it did. Positively SPOOKY. Even though it'd been roughly 24 hrs since we'd heard, it somehow seemed like a hoax or something. I can't imagine how the Lennon portrayer must have felt. It really was like a bad dream. I wish they'd let Chapman out, so someone could hang him by the b*lls and beat him bloody. Sorry, but that's STILL the way i feel.
