Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Watched Bee gees "In our own time" documentary (highly reccomend it... lots of RIC content). What ever became of his fireglo? I believe it was an RM1999. Anyone? Beuhler?

It was painted white and is now owned by a forum member. Use the search function as there are many threads discussing it.

Here's what Maurice Gibb's bass looks like today (well, a few years ago, anyway) photographed at the SERF event in Orlando:

Nope. No secret that it belongs to Wints. I photographed it for the book.

It is one of the top 5 finest Ricks I have ever played.

Here, here!!!!

That bass ruined my love for modern Rickenbacker's!!!!

.....but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying!

Technically its been owned by two forum members.
I owned DH163 from the late 70s to the early 80s.
I put it as the number one bass!
