The Rickenbacker That Got Away

From time to time I reminisce about my vintage Rickenbacker that got away. I found it in South Carolina, name withheld to protect the innocent. 
It was a 1966 Model 450/12 in Fireglo finish that had a sweet chime and was a great player. I got use to its solid body and Tom Petty sound and now sometime later I find that I miss its tone and more compact size. So please let the RRF know which Rickenbacker guitar or bass that you miss and why.
