your rig is so great man, i love that new ric. didn't you have some ric knockoff's a little while back too? i wanna know the brand so i can find some cause i love 330's in jetglo.

Thanks. I've got a bunch of pedals sitting on a shelf that would probably put me in a higher regard if I mentioned them, but i'm just not using 'em. Very simple these days.

Regarding Rick knockoffs - I never owned one and I don't condone them either. You can get a Jetglo 330 for $750-$800 used, I got my Fireglo one for that much.

oh i thought you were the guy who had all those knockoffs.
ric's are soooo nice though...

Wow - So after owning Vox's and Bogners and such, the amp you've settled on is a MESA? And you find that a good match for Rickenbackers? Interesting...

Well, it's funny. I got that amp for free (thanks again!), it's a 40 watt Class A amp, very dark sounding. Not really my first choice of sound, since I like really bright sounding stuff (Think Twin Reverb w/ bright switch on). But i've really centered my tone around the sound of it, along with my pedals. It's not at all like a Mesa you're probably used to.

I couldn't get the tone I wanted out of the Shiva, no matter how hard I tried. The Vox, on the other hand, I regret selling.

I like!

I miss all of the pedals though.
You're rig needs a jazzmaster, although I'm well aware that you've gone through a few of them, you still need a nice jazzmaster.

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm living the Jazzmaster fantasy through a Jaguar right now, which I rather like. But my American Jazzmaster was one of the best guitars I ever owned. What a sound!

Where's the Gretsch White Falcon?

Gone, sadly. Traded it for that 360 Carl Wilson.

Filtertrons were just not a tone I had any use for in my music, and I came to the realization that it was really a gimmicky, flashy piece. Not my thing. I got a practical and rare guitar in return, and one that will continue to escalate in value (I still play of course but have been bitten by the collectors bug as well). I do feel cooler for having owned one though.

Did you ever look for a Rick 380 Laguna? You had PM'ed me about it a long time ago. I have since found out that it has a wider neck then other Ricks as well as a high-performance bridge and always think of you when I see one for sale.

I did ask my local shop to order one for me to try but I guess it slipped through the cracks. I'll have a Rick one day ... one day!

Actually they've been discontinued. But you should really try a 650! A true soloists guitar with an incredible, unique tone.

Sold my 4001c64 for a 4004 Cheyenne. Picked it up from a Rickenbacker Forum member.

It's got two RIC humbuckers, walnut wings with a maple center, and a maple fretboard. It's been discontinued for a few years now in favor of the Cheyenne II, or Cii.

Basically just wanted to get something different. I've been modifying my main bass, my 4003, to more vintage specs, so the 4001 wasn't really as necessary as it used to be.

UPS says it's coming Friday and i'm psyched! I have a gig on Sunday and it'll be out in full force.
