Vince aka “Goat Boy”…

I see Vince on FB from time to time. Seems like he is doing well.

OK guys, not sure if this is allowed here, but someone listed several Birds for sale in the FB group. One of which is rare and people are always looking for them.

Usually, if I disappear, it's for the duration of whatever hockey or ball game I'm watching. Or the occasional gig.

What was the button for?
(just past the 3way switch)



So, potentially there should / could be lightly used / near new Ricks available

V-pot for the neck-bucker

Can't afford that. I figure when I order I'll do it by Thomann, they have full refund return policies, so on that front I'll be covered and I'll also look at the Rick as a future investment, not just an instrument for me to play. Besides Greco Ricks are getting almost as expensive as proper Ricks and Grecos aren't as reliably available as Rickenbackers are.

Nice bike - what's that pic from?

I ordered a set of Rotos RS77LD Flatwounds (45-105) from Thomann today because no one here works with Rotosound anymore. Can't wait to have them installed on Mt T-Bird.

I'm not sure if they sell them here in Peru or not, I buy a bunch them when I go back to the States although I use the stainless round wounds. I think they do sell them here though. I'm really surprised you can't get them in Spain.

something must have happened cause I used to buy the regularly in Spain in the 80’s…

Been doing some numbers and studying the situation and have figured out that if I want a Rickenbacker like bass I'm going to have to get either an used Rick or a new one since for what I've seen Greco's Rick's have gotten close to Rickenbackers in price, so maybe I'd better save some more wait longer and get a Rick...

If you like a thin neck I would save up some money and get a nice '70's 4001, they have that classic sound too. They're both nice though.

I love lefty Rics, it's like looking at one for the first time.

I was looking for the Kawi that was in that movie.
But this is a resto, recreation of that bike.

 

[JJR58]

No store here in Canary Islands deals/sells Ricks, so on that I'm f*Ed.

Just be careful then.
You may not be able to return if it's not right.

Vince is ok, so is The Fixer.
I'm still in touch with the both of them.

Damn good peeps!

I really have to travel more..........Especially in drag, and bring money to buy basses.

May i accompany you?

I loved how all the law-enforcement vehicles were souped-up. In the US, cop cars had "Interceptor" engines - high-performance power-plants to chase down bad guys... (driving high-performance muscle-cars!)

??? typo? I can't (or frankly would rather not) envision Mike in drag... or maybe it would be fun!
