holler if you heart the jangly-twang of rickenbacker guitars. gorgeous and distinctive tone for rich ass melody and the 12-string is so unfadeable. plus they look really cool

Bam has not one, but two Ricks (No Nielsen) on his wall (bass and guitar). They match and are beautiful and add a very grown quality to his stussussudio.

I was lucky enough to get to play a Rick bass in a band I was in. It was the guitarists, but he let me use it cuz it sounded so good. God I love those guitars. Fucking Yardbirds dude!!!!!!

...Hey miss.

Our wonderful ricky bass died the night after SF, right after we saw you!
I think it had burrito poisoning. Traded it in for 1978 P-Bass. No regrets.
I'm too big for a pussy ass bass like that. I would like a hollowbody 12 string tho.

blah
money.

Some favorite Rickenbacker sounds:

"And Your Bird Can Sing" - Beatles

ummm...that Creedence song...and um..."Everybody's Been Burned" by the Byrds...

Oh, and every Jam song ever recorded.

another sound i love is the lap steel cause it sounds like it's cryin. it's the roy orbison of guitars

Little known guitar geek fact:
All those nasty rhythms on Funkadelic's S/T, Free Your Mind, and Maggot Brain Lps were played on a Rickenbacker (330 I believe) by Luscious Tawl Ross. After those albums he had some issues (see Syd Barret) and didn't record w/ them again.

My guitar geek opinion:
Him and Hazel are the most underated guitar duo ever.

One of my all time fave LPs. Clarence White's guitar on 'Bad Night At The Whiskey' is about as bloodshitting as they come.

Clarence White of the Byrds developed the Parson/ White stringbender, which bends only two strings via pulling on the guitar's strap for steel like effects. Looks like this from the rear...

Read up on it here.

Solid Posts Y'all. I like this soulstrut.

edith head · June 2005

nice! thanks for sharing.

"Moral Kiosk" an all around great song

"9x9" creative ass guitar playing, good use of harmonics and the bridge is G A M E O V E R

i wish i had The Smith's "Stop me if You've Heard This One" handy because I would post it just for the great guitar outro alone

I just saw this video and thought of this thread for some reason.

Anyone every seen King live?

SexyBNyce · July 2005

I had a Rick 330 for a couple years. They are real stiff but thats what gives them that rad jangle! Just plug one in to vox AC30, turn it all the up and play an open E chord-and PRESTO you got freakbeat, son.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today???s tom sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
