Brian,
As we say in Texas: "Thanks, Podnuh!" Your post is authoritative and reveals a healthy perspective. I'm glad you are loyal to Rickenbacker and appreciate thier versitility, style and tone. It's a shame more people in my neck of the woods (Shreveport,La.) don't share our appreciation of Rickenbakcers!
Respectfully,
Larry Carroll |

Thanks Larry,
Don't get me wrong I have at number of Strats in my stable and a couple of Gibsons. I like variety. Having that sort of access to quality instruments can help to break writers block. Plus it gives you an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to a piece.
Having said that I only play a Ric bass. All other bass guitars pale in comparison in my books. The bottom line is Rickenbackers are beautiful instruments that are well made and Ric players know how truly versatile they are.
The acid test is this: Consider if your government passed a law (or your wife which is a more likely scenario)that decreed you were only allowed three guitars per household would one or more of those be a Ric?
In my case if it was the government making the decree I would keep two Rics and my favourite Strat. If it was my wife making the decree well------- I would be facing a tough decision. LOL |

"As we say in Texas: "Thanks, Podnuh!" "
I've never said that!  |
