Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

One of my favorite tunes off the recent Death cab CD. This on is live, check out that cool vintage 335....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUt2S_dWaTw

Nice! Sounds like good fodder for The KARMA Kings.

The KARMA Kings should do this one, it's got a great bass intro:

Good band. Nice reminder that Rics don't just jangle.

Good song - I've liked this one since I first heard it; nice to see a video and a Rickenbacker guitar - thanks!

+100

DCFC is hands-down one of my top five bands from the last decade.

Ben Gibbard is like my generation's Bob Dylan (ourely in a poetic way....he can sing bit better than Dylan).

Yup im a fan great band viewtopic.php?f=11&t=391532&hilit=death+cab+for+cutie

Cool! I watched a bunch of the other clips from the same show, and the other guitarist (sorry, don't know his name and am too lazy to look it up) uses three Ricks throughout the gig: the 335, a 360 (with vibrato), and a 660/12. My faves are "Cath" and "Crooked Teeth."

figured that would rile your feathers. Granted, anything I say is my ridiculous opinion.



ps, I surely didn't mean Gibbard was to the same extent. Dylan is always far and above genius. Still can't sing though.

Certainly not the Dylan. Maybe the Stephen Stills or something of that nature.

nice to see my old jan 75 360/6 with sd humbuckers and bigsby b 5 i talked to chris walla a couple months back via email to try to get that one back he said for now it has found a good home in his hands but he would call if the day comes to let her go

Ha! When's the last time you saw a 335 on stage or featured by any band. I'm sure we could come up with a list, but it would be short. Do we know what year? Nice finish.

I think I'm watching that right now on my local PBS station . the show "Soundstage"
I never really listened to much of them , even though they are "local" for me then I heard them , found out later who it was and felt slightly like a jackass for not checking them out sooner.
I also have to disagree with the Bob Dylan comparison.. I think he's closer to a new generation Neil Young but hey, whatta I know??? I'm just a bass player

Bah! I have his 360 w/bigsby set as my wallpaper
