You clearly don't like the tones of a Rickenbacker, which is fine.
I do think you should be barred from ever owning one, otherwise we'll get the inevitable thread saying: "Listen to this thing! The only way to set the PUP height is to have the E, A and G strings slightly distorting - otherwise the flipping D is too quiet... even then it's a bit quiet... and I've cut my finger on the stupid PUP surround. And don't even get me started on the whole stupid bridge assembly! 😬".
I didn't hear Steely Dan records either, back in the day. But now I can appreciate Peg and Josie, especially with the bonus of Chuck Rainy on the bass.
Josie in the pub 👍
