on 07/01/2011 		I Owned The 1961 Rickenbacker that is on The Cover of the Rittor Book. I did not really like the stove knobs too much and I put on the Later Style Black Round Knobs That I got from Work. That Guitar was Sold Without my Knowledge by my Father back in 1982 or 83. I bought the Guitar From the Original Owner`s Wife Back in 1981. the S/N is AH585 it has a knot in the middle of the headstock on back And I would like to have it back being that it was my First Guitar

If you want to Rock the World, let's see some Rick basses!

on 05/06/2011 		On the contrary Rickenbackers were the only guitars to bring "more" than book value at the last Heritage auction, out doing any Gibson or Fender. I still think Rickenbacker is a lousy customer friendly company, Mr. Hall is a baby boomer and should realize that us baby boomers would love to see a re-issue Rose Morris double bound 365 in the correct fireglow finish and wide 1 11/16 nut, but they refuse.
