Re: Replacing a blender with a push-pull

My luthier bud installed a push-pull circuit in both of my 350v63’s (6 & 12) that removes the middle pickup from the circuit when it’s pushed in but still blends the neck and bridge pu’s. When it’s out, the guitar behaves like normal. The mid pu definitely adds a little bit of “curl”, I’ve notic...

Re: Rare small body short scale 360?

Wayulp, I’m just gonna offer my less-than-expert level opinion on that one. Upon first glance, I like its look and dimensions…BUT…I believe I’m seeing certain things that make me wonder if she’s authentic. Firstly: unless it’s a trick of camera light, there appears to be a finish issue by the cat’s ...

Re: Fall 2021: Best place to order a new Rick. . .

I can wholeheartedly recommend Andy Babiuk’s Fab Gear.
I’ve bought 4 new Ricks (3 guitars and a bass) from him and if I buy any more, they’ll be from him.

Re: Rickenbacker To Stop Lacquering Fretboads Starting Now

I have to agree, the lacquered boards have never been problematic for me. Just a Rick being a Rick.

Re: Rickenbacker To Stop Lacquering Fretboads Starting Now

I have the 330 that they did in Matte Tobacco back in 2014 and it has an oiled fretboard. Feels lovely to play. The lack of lacquer makes its neck feel more like a Fender neck IMO.

Re: Happy Friday Meeting Place

Recording some made-up stuff (when grownups do it, it’s called “writing”) in between two drum gigs. I’ve fallen in love with using one of my 330’s in the “studio” (aka my basement using Reaper) running through two of my Eventide H9’s simultaneously through a ‘77 Deluxe Reverb mic’ed with a BLUE Baby...

Re: New Jetglo 360! But…did I get a bad fretboard?

Well raise my rent! I just compared the specs on Ric’s website too, coz I was thinking, “Whaaaaat?”. If I ain’t red in the face! All this time, I’ve been running under the assumption that the 360 still got toasters. I was WRONG! Sincere apologies ova heeya. I guess I was sticking too close to the sp...

I hope the 330 brings you happiness. Remember, it’ll sound different from your 360 because of the different pickups.
