RACK the Dick Wagner reference.

Throw Dick Dale on the pile...

This guy is actually a Dick, too. Birth name is Timothy Alan Dick.

You'd have to think that DT may have been one of the toughest fuckers to ever live with a name like that - and survive!

He was a red necked pussy that shot himself you fat stupid tard.

This thread didn't deliver.

I used to have a boss named Richard Hopper. He actually went by Dick.

Fuck you, Dick.

A fish named...

I dunno about that. Ricks tend to play a whole helluva lot better than Jazz Basses. I'd trade my Jazz in on a Rick (that sounded gay, didn't it?) in a second.

Let my guy Dave explain the misery and heartache of all that is Rickenbacker...



He's not only a former Rick player himself, he's also my guitar tech (of which he's posted videos of work done on my guitars).

Chris Squire tells this guy to get fucked, btw.

Chris Squire (but more importantly, Roger Glover) were a big reason Dave decided to play bass and join a band in the first place.
Even if you don't agree with him, watch this video where Dave explains going on tour with his brand new Rickenbacker in the 70's. If anything, it's a good laugh and you'll be able to relate a little bit...

It's all good fun, bro!

I've pulled off Custom Shop Fenders from the wall rack at the local shops that have sounded like ass.
Yeah...I suppose it's because every ape in town has had his greasy fingers on them....

I wish I had enough money kicking around to be able to afford a Rick 12-string...I was always a big fan of The Beatles Rickenbacker sound on some of their earlier albums...

Anaheim Stadium, early '70s - dude hit a line drive that seemed to clear the pitcher's head by ~ 2 feet. Didn't actually start to rise until it was above the outfield, and left the yard in what seemed like 2 seconds. They didn't measure exit velocity then, but that thing musta been traveling 150 mph. Absolutely crushed it.

I saw Carlton Fisk bounce one off the top of the green monster which appeared to still be going up. I am quite sure it would have been out of any other park in the league. This was a double. Might have even been a single if the left fielder played it well. Plus Carlton wasn’t the fastest guy.

When I was growing up watching the Giants, Willie McCovey used to hit a lot of balls like that. Many balls that rebounded off the right field fence so hard he had to stop at first base.

Yeah, I heard Stretch left a few dents or marks on the wall in Candlestick. Mays, too.

First time I heard the song was performed live; studio version is on an album called "Of Monkees and Men, which is a tribute album to The Monkees. The Minus 5 has had about as many members as five Deep Purples, which as you know is sayin' something. When I saw them, Peter Buck (R.E.M.) was on bass, and Kurt Bloch (guitar) and Linda Pitmon (drums), both of whom are in the video, were members. They opened for Alejandro Escovedo, and then were his backing musicians during the concert as The Burn Something Beautiful Band. "Blue Rickenbacker" was the 2nd song they played, and stood out as one of the more memorable tunes of their set.

An offshoot of The Minus 5 is The Baseball Project, whose songs all have to do w/ the national pastime. Check 'em out if so interested.
