I think the level of Ric love is equally proportionate and opposite the amount of mindless trollish Ric hatred that Ric players have to endure. In the "chicken-egg" scenario, I think a fair amount of Ric love is a direct response to the preceeding and oft unfair criticism and cheap shots.

RIC lovers seem to be the least likely to play a different brand.... Ever.

IME, and from what I read around the net, most Ric players also play other brands as well. I rotate my Rics in with several other brands. Sure, there are die-hards, as with anything else, but it's not accurate to label all Ric lovers/players as "least likely to play a different brand."

Spector guys are pretty wild (but in a good way). If you ever try selling one in the classifieds be prepared for a TON of PM's lol.

We don`t have Höfner club, or? I like them, but in a sensible way.

If I'm anything to go by, Musicman owners are big enthusiasts about their basses...........and dare I say it, Bongo owners (the Bongo bass control was designed to give bass players back the territory that is rightfully theirs).

They don't seem to post on here too much - can't imagine why........!

We have one: Hofner-(not just Beatle Basses)-Group Part 2

They are a pretty laid back bunch IMO.

I dunno.... Cuz they are too busy kissing SB's butt on the musicman.com forums?

Any of you that know me, know I am kidding and I have owned multiple Bongos and over a dozen EBMM basses.

I love SB and the rest of the EBMM gang in any case.... But I did forget to add EBMM to my OP though.... At one point I owned 7 EBMM basses.... Not an impressive # compared to many other EBMM lovers.

The Ric haters are the most fanatical ...

Ricks are one trick ponies
Ricks have no quality
Rickenbacker is going out of business
Rickenbackers are uncomfortable to play
Rickenbackers are too expensive

etc ...
