Operation: Rickenbacker

Posted by Austin on 10:33 AM in
As I mentioned a few months ago, right around Christmas time, I've had a pretty consistent wish list for a while.
  • New Stratocaster In Yellow - CHECK
  • New TV, Since My Old One's Struggling - CHECK
  • Rickenbacker 4003 - Hmm...
So the Rick is the last thing on my 'Hey Austin, save up your money and buy something awesome' list. And I'm getting the feeling it's almost time.

    The passion reignited last week when Sarah, Brandi, Kira and I went to see Vampire Weekend. Their bassist was rocking a Rick 4003, and all I could think was, that bass line is fantastic. You know, it does now occur to me that I should probably feel bad about purchasing lavish instruments, but come on, look at that thing. Besides, once I get all cozy with a girlfriend, or fiancee, or wife, I'll never have the kind of disposable income I have now.

    What I'm saying is that the 'Rick Savings Fund' is about half-way there. We're close. I'm going to be rockin' some thick sounding bass lines before you really know it.

    To celebrate this, we should watch Lemmy Kilmeister play on his Rick. If the Rick is awesome enough for a guy whose last name is 'Kilmeister', it's awesome enough for me, dangit.

    It's true about the disposable income. Spencer and I are in the middle of reassessing our savings method b/c it's just SO hard to save up for things. The car breaks down, the plumbing goes bad, a visit to the dentist... Responsibility sucks.
    Go you and your fun bachelor period.
    But also having your own house is really difficult in a satisfying sort of way.
