What happened to Rickenbacker?

I had wondered why he plays a Yamaha nowadays!
All the ‘70s Kraan albums and his solo album Bassball were definitely made with the Rick, so that was what I was familiar with.
Yamaha? Last time I looked he was using Status.

Yeh, the Rick sound from the Kraan period is great. Some style he has. I prefer his later 'Hattler' stuff, though, like 'Delhi News'.

Ha, you made me look again! ;)
Kind of a white bass with a whammy bar and a small headstock. Thought it looked like some kind of Yamaha, but I see the Status family resemblance now.
I like the newer music as well.
