I knew from my early teenage years that one day I would own a Rickenbacker Guitar cheap nike air max 2019 , and when I did I also knew it would be with me for the rest of my life.
The Beatles were my biggest musical inspiration back in the days when free love, mod art and phsycadelia were too much for a thirteen year old kid to take in. But John Lennon had a Rickenbacker, so did George Harrison and I wanted one too, so badly, in fact that I dressed up my Watkins Rapier to look like one. Actually http://www.cheapairmax2019wholesale.com/ , the headstock logo that I made out of cardboard was the same shape, but that was where the similarity ended.
That was until I convinced my woodwork teacher that I could make a new body after school and so my guitar got one somewhat resembling the Rickenbacker 4000 bass shape. Looking back, that was quite innovative as it was before Rickenbacker themselves introduced a six string guitar with a similar shaped body and a bolt on neck. I later found out this was called a Rickenbacker 481.
Throughout the sixties I played in bands with my old guitar and then with some cheap poor quality copy guitars which were readily available. And as I said, they were cheap, very cheap. All things American were expensive for a teenager and I didn’t come from landed gentry stock so money was always hard to come by.
I continued playing right up into the early seventies when I switched to bass and again went through a number of inexpensive basses until one day in 1973 I took the plunge and bought my very first Rickenbacker cheap air vapormax 2019 , a 4001 bass in Mapleglo.
In those days they came without a case and so the next few days was spent making one so that my new acquisition would be safe. I paid ?172 for my new guitar and that was around 6 weeks wages, but it was brand new and it was mine.at last.
We were best buddies working hard throughout the seventies, taking some time off for other work activities in the eighties, then again we were inseparable like Batman and Robin through the nineties and I am pleased to say we are still together today after all these years.
The eighties were a different time for me, less music and more a career forming time
resulting in an MBA and a big job in industry. With this came the ability to be able to once again realise my sixties dream of owning a Rickenbacker guitar. This came in the form of one just like George Harrison’s famous 12 string cheap air max 90 2019 , a 36012v64 in Fireglo, one of Rickenbackers reissue series guitars.
So what is it about these guitars that fuel an often insane passion in people, something which you don’t see with other brands of guitars? Maybe because they have always been hard to get, the fact that Rickenbacker have never compromised on quality and are producing them in almost the same way as they did back when I craved one as a teenager. After all Rickenbacker invented the electric guitar back in the thirties, so maybe there is something in the fact that Rickenbacker gave birth to the most popular instrument of modern times cheap air max 2019 running shoes , the electric guitar, the most provocative instrument ever conceived.
For me it’s an ever growing passion and it will only extinguish when I do. I consider myself lucky that I now have a collection of over 50 Rickenbacker guitars and basses some dating back to the sixties. I even think I have the one I would have bought as a teenager had I the money back then. I’m not too disappointed that someone else had to be the custodian of it for forty years, as I have it now at long last.

BARCELONA, Spain, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Thursday turned into a hugely successful night for Chinese swimmers when Zhao Jing and Fu Yuanhui took the gold and silver medals in the final of the women' s 50 meter backstroke in the world swimming championships.
World record holder Zhao Jing just edged out her compatriot Fu Yuanhui in the one lap sprint cheap air max 2019 clearance , finishing with a time of 27.29, a tenth of a second ahead of Fu with Japan'ss Aya Terakawa taking bronze.
Zhao cried after the race, saying she had not felt comfortable with herself and had fought to win the gold medal after a disappointing London Olympics.
"I didn't believe I was able to win this medal," she said, delighted to have proved herself wrong.
For Fu it was her first World Championships and she was delighted to have helped China take a 1-2 in the event cheap air max 2019 factory , revealing that she had raced with a shoulder injury that had made it difficult for her to keep a straight line.
The double triumph came hot on the heels of Liu Zige's gold medal swim in the women's 400 meter butterfly after the world record holder led for all of the race and held off the strong challenge of home favorite Mireia Belmonte Garcia, who had momentarily threatened to overtake her in the final lap of the race.
Belmonte swam the third lap faster that Liu Zige, who had looked to be tiring, but the new world champion was able to find depths of courage in the last 50 meters to claim gold medal with a time of 2:04.59, just under two tenths of a second ahead of Belmonte-Garcia. Hungarian Katinka Hosszu cheap air max 2019 outlet , who had previously won gold in the 200 meter medley, took bronze.
"I have had problems with an injury, but now I feel a lot better, I didn't know what the problem was, but I had problems with my muscles cheap air max 2019 free shipping ," explained Liu, who had won gold in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but struggled to bronze in the 2011 World Championships and finished in last place in the 2012 Olympic final.
"I was not in a good situation after the Beijing Olympics, but now I have had my problems treated and I am back to a high level of performance again. I am really satisfied with this gold medal," she said delighted to have ended a five-year-medal drought.
The only disappointment of the evening was the fact that the 4x200 meter freestyle relay team cheap air max 2019 sale , led by Ye Shiwen finished in fourth place in their f.
