downonthestreet said:The amp's a Savage - I remember that much (NB: the pic is of me!). The song he was playing would certainly not have been anything remotely Grand Funkish. For anyone very, slightly, remotely or not at all interested, the pic is of Dave "Rudolph V" Cardwell, during his days in Perth's 77/78 punk band, The Victims. He would have been playing one of my songs, possibly, one of The Victims' originals, or a cover by The Ramones, Heartbreakers (Johnny Thunders, not Tom Petty), Troggs, Modern Lovers or Sex Pistols. No other possibilities. Well, there's my contribution to today's useless information count.
DAMN! I got faked out. I didn't even know anybody MADE a Rick copy. Thanks for the info!Buck62 said:I hate to say it, but you're all wrong! (Technically, that is)
That's an Ibanez 4003 Rickenbacker copy. Look again at the headstock on that bass and you'll see that there's no way that the full "Rickenbacker" name is that short. That, and the bold lettering is practically a perfect match with an Ibanez copy.
Here's one in a different color, but look at how close it is to a real "Rick"...

If not an Ibanez, it's a Penco bass, which was also making great copies of well-known American guitars in the mid to late 70's. Both Ibanez and Penco came from the same factory (Hoshino) in Japan. Tone-wise, the Japanese clones were pretty darned close to a real Rick, too! Sorry to be such a stickler, but I like to give proper credit where credit is due. The Japanese were doing some great work in the 70's and 80's.![]()

I dont think so Buck.The fact that he is using a pick as opposed to fingersBuck62 said:He's playing "Closer To Home" (also called "I'm Your Captain") by Grand Funk. It's the beginning of the song and he's right where he should be on that D note... fifth fret of the A string.
Geez... I thought that one was obvious!![]()

Which part's sad but true - you're a Pom or you're a bastard? Silly me - on reflection, the question is entirely redundant. (Just don't mention the Ashes...or the rugby World Cup).![]()
