Cyndi Lauper?

Elspode is correct! You're up, buddy!

What instrument defines both the sound of the Byrds and Tom Petty, among many others?

Trilby · 07-31-2006, 05:27 PM

What's that I hear? A 12-string?

Undertoad · 07-31-2006, 06:21 PM

Not just a 12-string but a specific Rickenbacker electric 12-string, the model number of which I do not know?

JayMcGee · 07-31-2006, 06:58 PM

wasn't that a Rickenbacker RG12s. serial number 27a54178/w23?

Elspode · 07-31-2006, 11:38 PM

UT's answer was close enough...model doesn't matter, and serial number? I don't think all the bands shared just the one...

Undertoad · 08-01-2006, 07:28 AM

I looked it up, it was the 360/12. Although I think I remember a McGuinn artist model.

There are a lot of players who have famously played Rickenbacker basses, but the most important one was in the most popular band of all time. Name him.

Paul McCartney

Undertoad · 08-01-2006, 07:46 AM

correct

glatt · 08-01-2006, 08:02 AM

George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison composed and recorded most of the first Traveling Wilbury's album in a studio in whose house?

Hint: it was not a member of the band, but a friend who was out of town and loaned them his house for a week or two.

Shawnee123 · 08-01-2006, 08:14 AM

Willie Nelson?

glatt · 08-01-2006, 08:36 AM

Hint 2: He is a producer for many famous acts, but was best know for being partners with another artist in a British group, popular in the 80s.

Trilby · 08-01-2006, 08:37 AM

Ken Caillet? (spelling???)

glatt · 08-01-2006, 08:44 AM

Hint 3: His partner (in his band) was a woman who got much more attention than he ever did. He looked a little unkempt, but she could have been a model. Initially, most people thought he was just some guy who backed up the female lead singer.
