  1. This is great, i thought the only large width one was the Tom Petty, this is exactly what a lot of people would like in a Rick, not everyone has small hands like me. Yours are lovely.
  2. When i see a black 330 all i can think of is the Smiths, but they were great so i give two thumbs up to this! Ive not tried mine with a Vox yet! Note, i said yet haha.
  3. Wow, those are beautiful! I cant play bass very well, but the sound of those Ricks is unique and interesting. That 620 reminds me of mike campbells, i love his solo in the waiting, very solid player ihmo.
  4. Thanks, yes, Fireglo, they are great rhythm guitars, but many guys find the nut width too small. I believe there is a tom petty model with a 1.75 nut width that is much more comfortable, especially for taller folks with bigger hands. Not sure if its still in production tho. The Rick bass always sounded cool, but one of my friends who plays em says theyre a nightmare to intonate and he changed the bridge for a badass.
  5. Thanks, im digging it, a different vibe and not for everyone, but its got its own vibe.
  6. Rickenbacker 360 2010 in Fireglo red, they say only doctors and lawyers own them which is why half the music stores wont even let you play them lol. This is also why many are mint when resold, not a lot of gigging musicians use em but i Wanted to see what all the fuss is about, and i hate to admit it, but i really dig this thing. The fret board juts out a few inches from the body, and the nut width is small, both of which actually seems to make it easier to play from my perspective. While i love my gibsons, this is quite a fun addition to the lineup! Why i am even considering making a Tom Petty tribute band with my girlfriend. We both love the sound, colour and feel, (she plays guitar also). Any other Rick owners?
  7. This is supposed to be a 65 j-45 is this legit or fake? The pickguard is totally wrong and no inside tags???
  8. Well, it was my first vintage and if i can help it, ill never sell it. I traded guitars all the time, owned over 55, but for some reason, this one git i got an emotional attachment to it. But, when i broke up with my ex and went into financial ruin, i had to sell a bunch of things off.
  9. Yours is still a beauty, bet she still sings.
  10. I had a relationship end and got the short end of the stick financially, had to sell something fast. But, its great when you bring back an old friend isnt it? Hope you're enjoying the one you got back too, whatever it was.
  11. Two years ago i sold my 1974 Gibson j-50, and after a tough breakup and losing my shirt. i traded to get it back. Could have gotten any other but i wanted this particular one back it had the mojo, it had the magic and though i will wait 3 days to play it (airing it out due to Corona) i couldn't be happier to have it back in my arsenal. It's beat up, it's road worn, but oh the dry/warm tones that come out of this are a strummers paradise. Check my pictures.
