By the way, one of the "Ric chicks" I really admire is Mary Chapin Carpenter. Love her Blueburst 620/12.
Re: Girls With Rics
Let's not forget Ms. Courtney Love (Cobain) :
Not only were the first few years of her music career spent using Rickenbacker 420/425/Electro models, she was quite a Rickenbacker supporter as well. She convinced Kurt Cobain to buy his first Rickenbacker, a MG 4003 bass- which he reportedly loved. Also, when she designed her "venus" sig. model with Fender, she claimed to have a "Rickenbacker feel" in the overall design while obviously being nowhere near a copy, which is obvious seeing the body shape.
Cheers,
-Collin

People over at the TDPRI think the same thing about Telecasters.

A great link, Scotty. Thanks.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Yeah, but the girl in the middle really ought to replace that Tele...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: Girls With Rics
I don't have time to look for any pics right now, but I know that Wendy Melvoin, late of Prince and the Revolution, played a 330/6 in the Purple Rain movie. I think the guitar was, appropriately enough, purple.

Re: Girls With Rics
I saw Purple Rain last week - that guitar's totally customized. Lipstick pickups w/surrounds, non-namplate TRC, stop tail etc. etc.miltric wrote:I don't have time to look for any pics right now, but I know that Wendy Melvoin, late of Prince and the Revolution, played a 330/6 in the Purple Rain movie.
