Susanna Hoffs used to have a Rickenbacker Signature 350.

What a disgrace. Those didn't even exist when they played. I heard they were originally called the Bangs back in the day when a name like The Hard-ons could wreck your career. I know there was another group called the Bangs, but not with ALL CHICKS.

Their cover of "Hazy shade of winter" was pretty good! (Except for the trumpet bit)

I don't think there is anything wrong with them endorsing this guitar, especially since it's a "girls brand". The modern definition of a sig being something you played for years is just that, modern. Before sigs were just a product you endorsed, and slapped your name on before it even came out. I don't think one is better or more honest than the other.

correct. the og "the bangs" were from jersey i think. . . they were just a shit band that happened to exist like 4 seconds before the LA chick version did. and the dudes never amounted to anything, but i think the name change actually extended the bangles' reach to being more than a light, sunset strip punk band.

I really like the Daisy Rock one, and love that RIC, I think that'd be my perfect one...perfect cross between the 620 and 325, with the shape of the 325 and binding and neck/fretboard of the 620. Think I'd rather have a Hi-Gain in place of the bucker, though I've not had experience of the humbucker.

I wish they had a "full-size" 325 with a body and scale that was up with the big guys(wait a sec, am I thinking about a 381?), like BobArse mentioned, it has such cool features in one package. Besides, if it was THAT BIG, then everyone's favorite Jewish girl would be like no less than a towering 5'10"


With a little imagination...SHE'S HUGE.

Believe it or not, the prototype was white, tho' just 5 or so were made:

SO much hotter in Black, but I guess the only other time we were treated with such pearly Ric surprises was when Per Gessle from Roxette had that glorious other 360, I believe...CAN' T FIND PICS.

The 350 is a full sized 325 I believe.

A new Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo is on my want list... only around €1000 new.

After that I am saving up for an authentic Mosrite.

that is all...
