Been awake since four. Bah.Pic is of a Rickenbacker 4003 in Blueburst, a colour I've never seen before. It's absolutely stunning. I've played a 4001 (largely the same) in a guitar shop in Washington DC, but I was frightened of it as it was a 60's model and worth a lot of money, so I didn't really try it out properly. Rickenbackers are expensive in the UK, even second hand, as they're only made in the USA. Even a totally stripped one with no hardware and a cracked neck is over £500 on Ebay. Anyone who tries to make copies, like the absurdly named Rockinbetter by Tokai, are usually shut down by Rickenbacker pretty quickly, as they are fiercely protective of the design.
Just gone downstairs for a pee and found the dog had made an incredible mess. A LAKE of piss, one huge sloppy aromatic turd and lots of small hard turds scattered about. Lovely.
