An issue with Rickenbacker

[jazzman64]

Howdy folks! I just received a reply on Instagram that Rickenbacker replied to a comment I made on their recent post about the latest skunk stripe basses for 2022. I made a comment pertaining to how I was a bit sad that they would be removing the lacquered fretboards from their basses/guitars. When I went to view the reply, it said that the user doesn’t exist, I think Rickenbacker blocked me!

Yes, they've been known to block anyone who questions even the way they dot their i's.
Hell, they even blocked Geddy Lee!

Whoa really? They blocked me because I commented how I didn't like the bottom of the new double necks being curved. It made the guitar strings go to the bridge at an angle.

LOL You've been John Hall-ed! Basically the classic rite of passage as a Rick owner is to get blocked by, or at least some snide disapproval from, RIC. Welcome.

I understand your issue. I saw that one
my local guitar shop and noticed that as well.

I’m honored! I though John hall left Rick and retired?

Or maybe they really don’t exist.

Sorry, hyperbole.

I’m just saying, I could have done something more dramatic, the bar is set way too low.

I have been suspended, banned, censored for saying simple things like stating my preference for how many strings I like my basses to have.

Welcome to the 21st century and the modern internet.

the other day on the rickenbacker bass group, i saw a post talking about the whole sticker thing. apparently, a large percentage of people think that removing a dingy “made in america” sticker from your 2000 buck bass guitar is a statement against the country of america. a guy wrote a whole essay about how the state of the world and politics is all yadadada and the comments were just like “dude… it’s a sticker.”

i thought that was funny. so that’s what the whole thing is about??? i mean, my generation really likes to goof on facebook but like… sometimes people are a little crazy.

I for one prefer to have strings on my basses, and if that gets me banned then so be it!

Yeah , John hall has been known to behave like a child. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was Him in charge of social media.
