My first Ric, a 620 Jetglo arrived last night. She is beautiful..and so tiny! Although small and lightweight, the 620 also has a great overall solidness. After 25 years of playing, I can't believe I haven't owned a Ric before. My 13 old daughter, who is starting to learn bass, fell in love with the 620; the small size, the finish, the beautiful details of the binding, pickguard and TRC. Immediately, my mind started racing to what guitars I could sell in order to buy more Rickenbackers! A 12-string is definitely the next one. :-) | ||

Where did you purchase the 620? | ||

This time around, I purchased it from Musicians Friend, solely because I had a credit line on their card. Still, I had no problem with them, and it shipped out on time and in perfect condition. However, next time out, I hope to make my Rickenbacker/Vox purchases through a more "personal" company such as Pick of the Ricks, North Coast Music, The Music Connection, etc. I much prefer to give these guys my business. But that open credit line was so very persuasive ;-) | ||

"Immediately, my mind started racing to what guitars I could sell in order to buy more Rickenbackers!" It has begun! And it is incurable. | ||

I'm beginning to wonder what the Halls, past and present, put in these Rickenbackers that make folks crave more?  | ||

Congrats Chris, and already you have your mind adjusted to buy more Ricks. | ||

Congratulations from me also, Chris. I believe that the glue used in the case (which I'm told produces that lovely smell) has a secret ingredient (from deep in the Amazon rainforests) that puts you into a sort of trance - glazed eyes, smarmy smile, 'devil may care' attitude to finances - stuff like that! Be very careful - there are no Betty Ford clinics for this one!! | ||

LOL Funny, my daughter even commented on the distinctive smell! I think I'm starting to get woozy :-) | ||

The glue is loaded with guarana. NOT guano, guarana, Howard before you get any ideas. |
