Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just came across this one...looking for parts for an Ibanez I have.

Priced to sit and get deleted.

Here's a perfect stand for that bass.

Perfect!

One 9 too many in that price.

If you could get it for $90.00 and use it in a Who tribute band and totally shock the audience when "The Quiet One" suddenly smashes his fireglo "Rick" on the stage it would be worth it.

Nine Hundred dollars for that?

Nice, Joey!!

I should have demonstrated how it goes in that stand.

If you want fakers... there's enough on them right now... like eBay item # 270480072514

Btw. is eBay item # 270493491297 a real Rickenbacker???

Werner, actually both of them you link are real Rickenbackers. I'll let the experts chime in with more detail, as I am just a bass man.

They are??? What about the weird TRCs?

I don't know all the details, but you might want to ask over in the "Vintage Rickenbacker" department. The early stamped metal TRCs date probably back from the 50's into the early '60s, maybe. The Electro TRC is a Rickenbacker budget model, possibly a student model? A lot of that stuff is shown in the Smith book. Again, I don't know the details on guitars, and am much better on the basses.

Thanks, Paul - Well, you know more than me! Maybe I ought to get the book
