Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Billy, that is a sweet looking pair! Not sure which one I like best. What year are they? Just in case you didn't realize it (being that you are new and all) - there is a guitar section of this forum. You'd probably get alot more oooos and ahhhhs there; as well as knowledgeable comment on your beauties than you might from the fat stringers here in the Bass section.... Also in the General section there is a thread called Picture of you playing your Ric...part 2, where there seems to be a bunch of 6 and 12s being posted. Just trying to get you maximum exposure. And welcome to the forum!!!

This time as we were headlining I got to choose where to pop my bass amp, so I didn't put it right in the shadows. I had you guys in mind a bit.

Josh's "first ric'' pic got me thinking. Here's a recently uncovered 1993 pic from one of several "Southern Tours" my old band made. I think this was at The Chukker in Tuscaloosa, AL, but I won't swear to it.

Wildwood Fender Coronados if I recall.

Matt, that's a great photo and a great-looking bass.

Right on. For awhile there, we featured a "twin Coronado attack." Great guitars that allowed for carefully controlled (and sometimes not so carefully controlled!) feedback. Bill played the Wildwood II and Denny played this Antiqua:

Not mine, but someone in Man or Astro-man? We shared plenty of bills w/them back in the day.

I saw Man or Astroman? support You Am I in Melbourne a few years ago...great band, pity they never came back a second time, they picked a up a heap of fans that night.

Loved my '73 checkerboard.
