Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Forgot to mention that along with the Hofner, I received a Bigsby B7 that's now installed on my sunburst Casino, Harrison-style. The install was a little nerveracking as I took my drill to the top of the guitar, but the results are awesome.

Having just got back from taking my family camping for a week, i was down in a little seaside country Victorian town called Wonthaggi. My father was born there. A small guitar shop, thought i'd enter. An Epiphone John Lennon EJ-160E. Starting price AU$699. The pickup didn't work, but by the end of the week, it came home with me for AU$300. Plays beautifully as just a strait acoustic, will sort the electrics out at a later date.

See, now I've gone cross-eyed. What a mouthful

Har, Collin! Yeah, should prolly just call it a 360 OS replica...or just an OS-does it matter if it doesn't have X bracing inside? It sounds like it does-it's a super light and resonant guitar, and the neck is quite slim.

The guitar sounded and played fantastic at rehearsal on Wednesday, though I'm not used to it yet. I'm much more familiar and comfortable playing "Big Red".

Glad you like..er love the guitar Jake. You could probably have one just like it; find a road weary 330, save up some $, and ship it off, and wait a couple years, and WHAMMO!!!

No, not the guitar..........the capo !!!

Do tell David whats with the Capo? Light and made from graphite.Show us how you made it.Its like Blue Peter on the RRF.Can you make a Amp from a toilet roll ,tin foil and double sided sticky tape?

I know it's late & I know I haven't been around for a while, but a very happy new year to all on the Ric forum. My new year resolution is to return to the fold & find out what I've been missing!!

A pleasure to see you back, Tony. I was wondering where you got off to. Happy New Year to you!

Thanks guys. Where have I been??, well, I'm not sure really. Time seems to move on & what used to be the norm gradualy changes for no particular reason...if you know what I mean. The big change to me is that I have given up my own band & am currently looking for a bass players position in a suitable local band. Letting someone else take all the hassle, whilst I get down to the fun part of playing my 4003FG, seems quite appealing at the moment...

Good move, Tony.

Welcome back, Tony!

Welcome back Tony. I have heard a lot about you from Howard and Graham, so glad you are back on.

I visit Teignmouth a lot as my Dad lives there. In a home now in Bishopsteighnton.

Thankyou Sarah. Don't believe everything that Howard & Graham said about me!!!!

Pop in for tea when you're next in the area.

Hey welcome back Tony!

I was in Teignmouth last November having tea and cake in the promenade cafe wondering if you were playing that weekend. Are you looking to play bass in a blues band?

Is that shipwreck still on the little beach at Shaldon?

Are you still painting?
