aber bei Petty hört man in den meisten Fällen Telecasters,
Ja, die auch.
Tom Petty’s Rickenbacker Comments:
„I love them as works of art and I love the sound they make. Mike Campbell and myself have never really gotten over this disease. I mean, we still scour „The Recycler“ to find vintage guitars. It’s…it’s one of my…I guess it’s almost a vice, now, because…we just love them.“
„I’m essentially a rhythm player, and you can do that with a Rickenbacker. It’s not really a lead instrument, it’s more of a rhythm guitarist’s kind of thing.“
….his choice of guitars is very telling. On much of his music, he plays Rickenbacker six-string and twelve-string electric guitars–any musical historian can tell you that the Rickenbacker six-string was one of the basic elements of the sixties British sound, while the Rickenbacker twelve-string was responsible for the lush textures created by Roger McGuinn of The Byrds. ….
Es gibt sogar eine Rickenbacker, die ist nach Tom Petty benannt. Und in einem Filmportrait – lief einmal in Planet Music und einmal im ZDF oder so – erzählt er ausführlich, wie wichtig die Rickenbacker für seinen Sound ist.
Von der Tele war gar nicht die Rede…..
