Ricky NS SURVIVES a stage fall!!

Jeff Spencer · From: Queensland, Australia

Another great News Years Eve gig!! but had a heart stopping moment. Pre gig set up and left the stage to retrieve a lead. Heard a 'bang' turned around to see my 1948 Rickenbacher NS lap steel on the stage floor bumped by the sound tech off the stand. I stand to play so it had fallen from chest height to the wood stage floor.
My heart sank!!!! 😢 but it's built like a tank! another paint chip and bent tuning peg. On with the show!!
Oh well...another part of it's history now!
Lesson for all of us...DONT LEAVE YOUR STEEL UNATTENDED!!

Lucky Jeff as A B6 may be in need of a new neck, the tin man of the Rickenbacker family is the most robust to take out for gigs etc.

Whoops!

Yep, they don't make 'em like that any more Crying or Very sad

A bent peg is no big deal Jeff. Cool

Meanwhile - the sound tech gets out of hospital in about a fortnight! Razz
