Riddle Me This

admin · Post by **admin** » Wed Nov 20, 2002 10:09 am

I'm a part of Rickenbacker history
Moved on so fast, nobody missed me
Neither dot nor triangles upon my fret
Strung out on Electro's 'tis a safe bet

Who am I?

D'oH!!! My hair hurts thinking about this...

I think thats John Astin, the guy who played Gomez on The Addams Family. I don't get the RIC connection tho...

Do tell, Peter. I can't find the connection. He was married to Patty Duke. Sired lil Rudy. Still can't figure it out. Helllllp!

OK, he was in the movie "Candy" as was Ringo. Could that be it?

Did he use a Rickenbacker in an episode of Batman?

His alter ego was a Rickenbacker salesman!

The masked man in the pic indeed is John Astin, but like Jon Perry, I'm lost as to any connection with Rickenbacker. The answer to Peter's riddle will be interesting.............

Holy jingle-jangle, Batman!

John Astin's bio has listed him as appearing in Batman.

Hmmmmm. I'm thinking Forrest White.

Or, could you be talking about an instrument, not a person? I'll say the mandolin.(I forget the model number.) I don't hear anything on this forum about that part of RIC history!

Oh, it does have dots.

We must go back. WAY back, Sherman...

"Who am I?"----are we talking of an indiviadual??

Leftybass: Yes I have taken more liberties than I should, it is an instrument with a tenuous connection with Gomez Addams (who is offered here for his Riddler role as well).
