I actually got a Rickenbacker, I would guess I am one of the few on this forum...

It is not one of the famous 330/360 hollowbodies,even though I want one, but a solidbody 230 model. I posted a bit about it in http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=12131&hl=Rickenbacker.

Johnny Marr used a 360 while playing in The Smiths, The The and Electronic, and The Edge uses some hollowbody model on several songs (as can be seen in several U2 videos and in the Rattle and Hum motion picture).

I really, REALLY like my guitar. It is a very high-quality instrument, quite different from other guitars I owned (Kramer, ESP, Washburn, Ibanez) and the special noise free pickups are great. More of a Stratocaster sound than a humbucker perhaps.

I don´t have any special soundclips, I usually use it together with a Vox ToneLab and can get all the sounds that I need.

I wanted a Rickenbacker at one time but I keep thinking about buying one and then buying a different guitar instead

Add a martin acoustic, a dark tabacco burst LP standard, and an sg, and that would be a near flawless collection right there.

Cliff Burton mostly played a Rickenbackers.

I really like their 300-series. For some reason Ricks make me think hollow or semi-hollow. I love their sound. I'd have one if they weren't so expensive. Part of why I got my ESP.

Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Apr 18 2008, 05:33 PM

I like them,and basses are great..

Posted by: stratman33 Apr 18 2008, 11:01 PM
