I see! Geddy had both versions. I wondered what the control panel was. Thanks, Dave.
I'll have to keep checking auctions for those to see what price range they're going for.

One reason I have thought about is the fact that unlike many other well-respected brands out there, Rickenbacker have refused to put their name on a bunch of second-rate imports. In fact, they go after anyone who copies their stuff, which I think is great.
Think about it, when you go to buy a Fender Stratocaster, for example, the first question you ask is, was it made in the USA, Mexico, Japan, Korea, or China. If you go to buy a Les Paul, you ask if it is a Gibson or an Epiphone.
I have always taken great comfort in the fact that when I buy a Rickenbacker, I ALWAYS know I am getting the real thing.

Those pedals are harder to find than 4002's. I wound up getting Roland PK-5's.

They looked interesting. Are they midi only, or do they have a 1/4 out as well? There's a set on ebay at the moment for around $550 US.

What makes Rickenbackers special?

Trousers are controllers only? I'm confused, Earl...
