A 330 and a Rick bass (although I think I once read it was a copy???).

I don't think the Burgundyglo was a copy. Foxton used an Ibanez copy in the early days which can be seen in some very early promo shots, but I think once they got a record deal he & Weller went out and bought the matching Rickenbackers used in the Art School video.

Ah, maybe I misunderstood the article and they meant that

The forementioned guitar can be seen on the back of the In the city LP.
also here we have weller with a Rapier 22 and foxton with the Ibanez.The Roxy Club 77`

Given the amount of people that have, and still are buying Rickenbacker guitars on the back of his use of their guitars, It's amazing that Ric have never done a Weller signature model.
Like many others, once I'd fallen in love with The Jam it was (and still is) the only guitar for me.

I LOVE the fat F-model he played when he was in The Style Council. What a great sounding (and looking) instrument.

What is that monstrosity Weller is playing in Scott Baillie's pics?

I know he's since migrated over to an old SG, Casino, and '50s Teles, but does anyone know if he ever picks up his Rics these days? The guy's still got about the best tone in the business.

I think he's sold or given away most, if not all of his Ricks.

The most recent one I can remember is this one in 2006 - he must have borrowed the white 330 back from Noel G for the gig. He did it again with TDPT in 2008, but used the Casino.
