Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

A thought occured. The Gearwire guy reviewed a bass and called it the Rickenbokker Four double Oh Three..

I always called it a Four Thousand Three. I just figured thats what it was, the way we call it a three sixety , and not a three hundred and sixety.

So What IS the proper way of saying it?

Four Thousand Three.

You take the word someone who plays a Rickenbokker?

Maybe the reviewer was an Aussie. Whenever you get two of the same number in a row down there you call it double.

Example--the phone number 772-5555 would be spoken as: "Double seven two, double five, double five."

Maybe it should be a Forty - aught - Three.
Like a .30-06.

Nice one Jeff.

Yup, I call it a "four double oh three".

We also say "tomarto" not "tomato"

Four thousand three.

Is that the guy who says Rickenbokker's have inlays like an Ibanez?

I also say forty eighty for the doublenecks.

ooops.......double post!

I say arba'at alafim veh-shalosh. But that's in Hebrew.

I call it a forshoshunshree when I am sloshed.

Guitarist's worst nightmare usually works for me.

I just go by the common usage:

MMMMIII

I still call it a four thousand and one ....................... why do people keep changing things

Essssss eight?
