Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi everyone;

I think this is my first comment on this forum. I am from Istanbul/Turkey. After years of dreaming, I recently have got a 4003 jetglo.
I am very happy with it. In this video you will see my band, performing. The bad thing is the tv programmers have no technology to record live. So although we played live, the sound wasn't recorded. Music you will hear is "Neon isiklari" means "Neon Lights" from our ready to release album. We have recorded our debut album but haven't released it yet.

If interested, you can check my band from http://www.myspace.com/neonistanbul

When I was recording the bass lines, my ricky had not arrived me. So the sound doesn't belong to my rick.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello from the other side of the world. I would be happy to hear your comments.

Best;

Metin

Awesome, guys! Very cool video, pardon my ignorance while I say I never heard rock music in Turkish language before. I'd love it if you could give us a translation of the lyrics to English. Thanks for the initiation.

Your bass sounds really great. No translation necessary there

Welcome, Metin! It's always nice to meet new Rickenbacker fans!

Welcome to the forum! Great music!

Thanks guys. We made our production, it was our first experience in producing an album, sometimes we did mistakes during recording process , so it didn't sound excactly as we want, but next time it will be better.
It seems I will have great friends here. I started to feel a part of a huge family

Welcome, Metin!:D Great song and bass tone.

Welcome! Cool stuff.

I like the music and your bass tone!

Welcome to the forum, glad you finally got your Rick, and that you are here!

Welcome Metin, I really enjoyed your video. The tone of your Ric really steals the show!

Turkish Peyote?!?!?! Never thought I'd see that...Cool tune. I like it. It sounds very U2. Welcome to the forum and enjoy that Rick!

Metin, what a fantastic tune!I absolutely love it. Great job.

Your influences listed on your myspace page is the current playlist on my ipod with one notable exception for which i will plead the fifth.

Metin,
Your music is great and I love your bass sound. Good luck to you all!
I was in Turkey with my family in the summer and we loved it there. What a wonderful and friendly country!
Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your Rickenbacker!

Peyote is a kind of indie club which gives bands like mine chance to play their original tunes live. We love to play there. U2 is one of our influences but we should be more spesific to create our original sound maybe.
