That is great to hear Steve! Bring the new Sea green one... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
And maybe the 4004 blue burst if it's not sold by then :) That could be very tempting for R.A.S. :wink:

If the 4004cii is still around I'll bring it!
I'm also wondering if any visiting bass players would want to check out the nearby F Bass factory while in Hamilton? George Furlanetto is a great guy and there's probably a chance we could get a tour of his shop.

I know his brother Lou Furlanetto better then I know George, but that sounds like a great idea. In fact I bought my 1977 320 at the original Guitar Clinic which is less then a block away (down King William street) from where we will be holding the Rickenbacker gathering.

The F-BASS shop is in the north end of Hamilton on Mckinstry Street - it was also the second Guitar Clinic store until they wrapped up the retail operations in the early 2000s. It is about 15 minutes from where we will meeting.

Sorry to sound like a moron, but could someone educate me on the F-Bass factory. Sounds interesting :?

Excellent! That is good news Steve. I had coffee with Bill Dillon this morning... Hopefully he will join us too with his customized 1958 Capri 355.

That brings us up to nine coming so far I think... :D

Saturday March 16, 2013 from 12 noon to 7pm.

Location is the Pearl Company Arts Centre http://thepearlcompany.ca/

16 Steven Street Hamilton ON

There will be a PA and back line set up, and a room with tables to sit and look at Rickenbackers.

There will be a PWYC jar - proceeds for the venue - but no actual admission cost. And they will sell coffee and refreshments cheaply.

I will bring my guitars and a few amps... Anyone else want to join me?

Yup its a date!
