A disease in which one has the strong longing for a Rickenbacker Bass or
Guitar. They will constantly look up photos, videos, and reviews of the
guitar or bass even if they have already seen it once or twice before. Eventually said person will be able to analyze a fake from a real one in seconds and be able to distinguish the sound from other basses. Sometimes Rickenbacker Fever may lead to purchasing a fake or really beat up Rickenbacker just for the thrill of having one. A victim of
said fever will spend most
time fantasizing about the
guitar and looking for good deals. The acquisition of a couple thousand dollars and purchase of the guitar is the only way to cure the fever for the moment. Also referred to as "Ric Fever"

Fever! Got me a 4003 yesterday.
Guy 2: I've got Rickenbacker
Fever so bad I
shake when I see one!
