he he, thanks everybody for your comments, and bravo to CS for his OT pic ;)

anyways the reason I started the thread is the Ric 450-XII that Fred "Sonic" Smith played in the MC5 and in Sonic Rendezvous Band. It was a 12 string played as a 6, and modified with PAF's.

 

The vintage 6 string model looks like this :

:love:

 

So nobody has a 450 or a 650 ?

seriously my pedal-board for this thing allows me to get guitar/analog synth madness & even deep-rooted bass tones.

 

 

It makes me remember a vid of "Death from Above 1979", basically a 2 people band, with a bass player playing with a Rick and heavy fuzz, and a drummer.

 

sounded killer.

OK, THIS is nice. Except the bridge. Why they dont make string trhu body with mahogagny fretboard ???

 

I would imagine it plays a big role in letting people get the classic Rickenbacker tone, even from a solidbody. if it was string through, it wouldn't be quite so resonant and chimey. :confused:
