Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Just who is this "Rickenbacker General"? Is there a Rickenbacker army somewhere?

I know of several that make up the staff of this army ;

Private Parts
Corporal Punishment
Sgt Adarms
Major Payne
Colonel Sanders
General Info
Admiral T. Bay is in charge of the Navy

there must be more !!!!

Could we do a "battle" of the bands against the Salvation Army?

I understand that Colonel Sanders is how they make popcorn smooth.....

Who is General Failure? And why is he reading my drive??

Go put Pyramids on your 12 strings! Sheesh!

Having my Yamaha 12 string acoustic "borrowed" and never returned was one of the biggest reliefs of my life!

J Phelps- your battle of the bands would be quite interesting... Rick guitars and basses against Christmas bells and bass drums.

By The Way.. I don't think that Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker was posthumously promoted to General... it must be someone else.

Wow, you guys sound like you really know a lot. Maybe you can help me. I bought some news bass strings and cut them three times but they're still too short. What should I do?

I also saw an ad for a bass boat. How do these work? Can I plug in my bass directly? They seem really cool, what with that sparkly paint that looks like a Kustom amp, but I can't seem to find a drum boat or guitar boat for the rest of my band. I think I'd feel pretty foolish being the only guy in the band who can play his bass out on the lake.

You Should feel foolish trying to play bass on the lake; you're supposed to Catch bass on the lake,Not Play them....

I've seen a photo of Neil Peart playing drums on a lake.. well, on a raft on a lake.

Don & Craig:
To answer your question.

Greg Lake was a bass player, so it is possible


I don't know if he played bass on the lake with Muddy or Roger Waters though.

So Don, are you saying that I can catch bass on my bass boat, but that I can't play with my bass? Hmm, that would explain the guy telling me he could tune a piano, but couldn't tuna fish. I really think this whole discussion is baseless.

This may sound fishy (no, not Chris Squire)...

You should have seen the Rick that got away!

Did you get a look at that bass?It had pentatonic scales and dorian fins....
