That's different...

He went completely over-the-top with the pics...  ;D
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

When did Ric make those models?
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?

We need more pics!

It's sort of active, but not in the sense most of us think. No battery.

I never could fall in love with these, the combination of neck width and profile just didn't fit me.

The 200 (guitar) and 2000 series Ricks just weren't traditional enough for most Rick fans. Doomed from the start.

Amazing, through a wealth of electronic trickery, Rickenbacker have created a bass that looks like a Telecaster and sounds like a Gibson bass.  ;D

I'm sure John Hall will appreciate your observation.  ;D

They don't really sound like Gibsons, though. They have their own thing going.
