Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Greetings! I feel safe here admitting how embarrassingly proud I am of my new MID 4003. It's my first Ric, though I've worshiped the instrument since I first started playing in 1983.

While I play lots of rock (alternative and otherwise) and jazz, I've been sitting in with various 'hip cats' here in the SF Bay Area over the past ~3 years. One of those 'hip cats' is promoting her new album, which she just finished recording in Tuscon/Austin--she calls her sound, 'Tortilla Western.' Different stuff, for sure--think global folk music with a Mexican twist (she'll bust out the accordion sometimes).

Anywho, I'm sitting in with her on Saturday, March 6 in Berkeley, CA @ ~9pm. She's doing a live radio show on KALX (Cal Berkeley's radio station), which can be streamed live via internet. I'll debut my new Ric, using it for most (if not all) of the tunes (I have a Benavente fretless I may use on one or two songs). I'm so excited to debut my Ric, I just had to tell y'all!

Peace.

Nice!

Very cool, John. Good luck and enjoy the show!

Have a great gig, John!
I'm going to make a duplicate of this thread and put it in the My Gig Forum, which is found further down on the main forum menu page. That way more people will see your gig announcement.

Thanks, Joey! Sorry I missed that thread. Newbie mistake. Won't happen again--promise.

Tear it up John. Mark

Don't worry, we don't actually keep count!

Have a great time with the gig!

Sounds like a ton of fun. Have a great gig.

Thanks, Jim. Yes, I really enjoy playing her music, because it's so different from what I typically play. It will be fun, for sure.

And thanks to all for your support!

Peace.

No worries about that John, really. Just helping you get more people to read about your gig than just the guys who only frequent the bass forum.

Thanks, Joey. That's very nice of you, and I really appreciate your hard work on this forum. It's been so helpful to me in just such a short time. I'm getting the most out of my Ric thanks to you guys.

Peace.
