Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Ronn, you're killing me. Mark

I am into most music PRE-1990 music.

I love the Real stuff-no midis or triggered riffs for me.

I love English, Beatles, Stones, Who etc.
Steely Dan, Chicago, America etc.
In my current Bass Lineup:
Gibson Money Bass
Hofner 63 Reissue
Ric 4001v63
Ric 4001c64s
Wal 5 String
I use Logic Pro 9 express for learning and recording tunes

I'm in a bluesrock/harder rock cover band at the moment. I used to be in punk, metal and alternative bands.

Besides my 12 Rick's I have
- Klira 162-3
- Squire Katana (first bass)
- Bach Precision
- ahum, thats it at the moment. (I also had 2 Warwick's, NS WAV, Epi Rivoli, Gibson G3, Ashbory in the past but they did not get much playing time next to my Rickenbacker's.)

Wow, where do you some of you guys store the cases let alone all of the basses?

For My Rick's I have at least one and max 2 fitting cases (not counting amplifiers). The rest is caseless. My instruments are within reach divided between the 2 rooms where I'm most; the living room and the music/computer room and the Bach bass lives at my Drummers house at the moment.

LOL! I moved into a new house last year, smaller than the previous one, and it definitely became an issue! Right now I have most of them stacked in the closet of my "music room"...

I've been wondering if I should be stacking my cases instead of having them all standing on one (body side) end of the case. Seems like stacking is better cause it's less weight on the padding...unless you're the bass on the bottom. Thoughts?

I seem to remember hearing that you shouldn't stack them flat on top of each other, or at least not with the instruments inside...

...I wouldn't do it that way, either. I stand them vertically next to each other.

I play mostly punk, rockabilly, or indie rock nowadays.

Basses I have other than my Ricks:

Charles Cote Continuum 5
Charvel Surfcaster
Fender Jaguar
Gibson Money
Gretsch Spectra Sonic
Martin EB-18
Rogue Violin
Squier Classic 50's P Bass

I forgot my Hopf Studio bass (of which you can see an example in following picture).

For those who did not recognize him, this is the guy who got -at least- me buy Rickenbackers. He even got a signature model himself.

Let's see . . . not Chris Squire . . . not Glenn Frey . . . must be . . . . . . . Lemmy!
