Entry: Rickenbacker: The Guitar Manufactor - A13593648
Author: Cosmicdudeman-Thingite Minister of Certain Substances, Comics now posted on website - U3715074

I'm a fan of Rickenbacker basses, so I've been slightly destirbed that there is nothing on the Rickenbacker company on HooToo. So I wrote an entry. Someone help guide me on where I should go from here.

Hello. Here's brief look-see:

1. you have the beginning, but no end. What do they produce now? Where are they located?

2. You mention two lines. Are there only two? Why? How many in each line?

3. Are you a native english speaker and do you have microsoft word on your computer? If so, paste the entry in and run a spellcheck. It makes it easier to correct.

Rickenbacker six-strings were quite a staple of the sixties - The Byrds, for instance, got their distinctive sound partly from Rickenbackers, and it seemed that sixties retro groups were just as keen to use them. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Jam.

I did some spell check, if anything needs to be Britishized, just tell me.

What? No mention of Lemmy, Geddy Lee, Mark Evans? Crivvens.

I haven't gotten that far yet. I'll go do that right now. Just catigorize those people as I'm only familar with Geddy Lee.

Lemmy's from Motorhead, Mark Evans was AC/DC's first bass player.

What instrument did Lemmy play?

Sorry! he plays a Ricky bass.

It's okay.

He's such an icon to those of us of a rock bent that I tend to forget that there's no reason at all for most people to have heard of him!

I just realized something; we have no entries on The Who, Tom Petty, or Paul McCartney. Or at least none edited.

Entries should not start with a header or subheader, but with a simple definition of what your entry is about.

Hum, I forgot about that. I'll go add one now.

No I won't, I can't think of a good one.

Saythat rickenback manufactures guitars and are a very good company and that should be good enough.

Or: You've probably seen a Rickenbacker, and almost definitely heard one. Here's something about them.

That's better.

Oh, and congrats cosmicdude. Wasn't that your photoshop entry on teh Front page?

Missed it, I took Labour Day weekend off from HooToo.

Another one still working on Cosmic?
