On of the Rickenbacker fan boy web sites has a facebook page and they are trashing me there.
I wrote a message to "MW" asking him why he is saying bad things about me there. He seemed to think it was OK because I got kicked off of their web site.
All in all I guess being bad-mouthed by people like that is a badge of honor. It proves I don't drink the kool-aid and I am willing to say the emperor has no clothes.
oh well life goes on ...

| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Colorado | | The root of my problem is I sold this bass here on ebay --- http://www.3dentourage.com/425/red-ric.htm 
It is the same bass they use on their web site here ... 
Well I didn't know they have an unwritten code that basses like that should only be sold to those in the inner circle I sold it to someone not in their inner circle. Well after that every time I would post there were certain members that would post hateful things about me. Finally they kicked me out and even changed the rules about who can see things on their for sale page.
That was all years ago and they are still trashing me.
I think I understand some of the hate for Rickenbacker basses and for the company and even for Rickenbacker owners.
I am trying to live above all of that. I like the instruments. I don't like the drama. I guess that is why I am here, because there is more discussion and less drama.
