Deadman's Curve - Jan and Dean

Nope, the TRCs on her Rickies (and they're real ones) really do say Rickenbecky.

She was indeed, and she is their current bassist. I've known Becky for many years, in fact she actually depped for me waaaay back in the dim distant. Since then I've watched her career rocket off through the roof, and it's all down to her hard work and determination. She's a great example to us all, regardless of gender.

I'm in a ska & reggae band, there's nine of us and we're all white. I'm saying nothing. 🤐

No No No - Dawn Penn

Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran²

"Is this the end" is a daft clickbait question. First, what is "this"? Secondly, what is "the end"? Thirdly, if by "boutique" you mean custom built basses, then of course it isn't. As long as there are people wanting instruments built to their own desires and specifications, and as long as there are luthiers willing to build them, then there will be 'boutique' basses.

Easy mistake to make these days. It's hard to tell what's real and what's Memorex when it comes to news stories. Bloody AI.

@amir93smith I've taken the liberty of rotating the photo in your post. It looks even nicer now

what they just said.

Curious. I can't find anything anywhere else on the net about this. This is quite literally the only source. 🫤

Yep, I think that's happened to several of our BC fam.

Fixed. OP did say politely, after all.
