Hello everyone,
I have always consulted this page for researching purposes but this is my first post as an actual member.
As of last weekend I have become the proud owner of a 2008 Rickenbacker 340/12 in Fireglo!
I think the previous owner never really restrung it or had it set up correctly, still it sounds amazing. I'm handing it to my technician this week.
Here it is:
Very Best,
Rodrigo

Thank you guys!
Any bass player holding a Ric surely deserves the ladies' attention. Their basses absolutely rock!
In fact I'm very excited that YES is coming back to South America. Chris Squire has the best RIC sound in my opinion.
Very Best,
Rodrigo

I'm in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Largest city this side of the Equator.
However I do like to take a trip to the US once a year or so. So many guitars and effects at reasonable prices!
Customs duties here are astronomical. On my last visit I flew back with an American Tele and had to pay half of its actual price in import taxes. Ridiculous,
BUT still cheaper than buying at a local store, travel included.
No kidding!

I wish Massa would win a few races!

He's not a bad racer but he lacks charisma so badly that most Brazilians don't like him.
Sadly there will never be another Senna.
