In Campbell's case, though you're seeing Vox Super Beatles, in most cases during their set you're hearing his Fender Deluxe:

Not to knock Vox, just sayin'.

OK. Why?

...my Ric was the deal of the century. ...

For an Epi V? Darn right. :AOK:

Here's my beater 620...

Never heard a Ric relegated to 'beater' status. :whatever: Daisy Rock, OTH...

Mike Campbell:

We have a combination of things; on the last few tours, we brought the [Vox] Super Beatles back after having retired them for a while because they are really loud, and as we got older it was harder to sing over that volume. We brought them back because we missed some of the tones that we used to get from them. Those Super Beatles are on stage now - I'm not actually playing through them but Tom does on a couple of songs. Behind them are the things that we are actually using in the mix.

Right now my favorite setup, which I kinda found with my little band in the clubs but I use onstage now with the Heartbreakers, is a tweed Deluxe and a blackface Fender Princeton together behind the Super Beatle, and an isolated Vox AC30 that I have backstage in a box. The guy up front can pull up any of those amps that fit the room that night, but mostly it's the blackface Princeton and the tweed Deluxe, which is a '59. Those two amps sound really great together.

By beater in this instance I just mean it was beat up when I got it. Cosmetically, it's a mess. Rust, sticker ghost images, plating flaking off, etc.

The very friend of mine who was directly responsible for getting me into guitars owns 2 Rics - one from a "few" years back - and one he bought in Boise, Idaho about 4 yrs ago when we were both away at the same time with work. He intended to sell the newer one on as the exchange rates were good at the time, and it wouldn't have been his own choice of colour (orangey-creamy-beige IIRC)! I remeber him walking back into the hotel with a huge grin and a guitar case in his hand and saying "wanna see what I just bought?" It certainly does look good, though, and in the end he didn't sell it. Mainly, I think, because he is a Ric fan. Well, Rickenbacker did invent the electric guitar, don't you know? as once or twice he's informed me

playing flaking off, etc.

Sounds like more of a personal problem to me.

Haha, fixed.

Why'd they put the "t" next to the "y?"
