Thanks for the kinds comments guys. Greg I haven't been hiding - just watching from afar!

Yes I'm wrapped, never thought I'd ever be in a position to own one but it's funny how things work out at times!

Yes Kevin, Larry's kicked another goal, I wouldn't have bought the guitar if he hadn't asurred me he could rectify the many issues it had! So I'm really pleased with the outcome.

So what's the Munich beer like Howard? You've been there a while now to have had a few samples.

Coming to grips with the jet lag yet?

Have a great time and don't forget to check in and let us know what you're up to!

Happy Birthday Howard, pity he has to work on his birthday though - that's a bit much don't you reckon!

Well done to Brian, who is right on the ball in the announcing duties for the Australian contingent.

Thanks everbody for the good wishes - wow 60 that's old isn't it! :lol: Yes that pic of the recording session at Brian's place brought back a lot of very good memories, and yes long live rock n roll! :D Cheers Ron BTW Peter I didn't eat any Anzac bickies, but I did have a couple or 3 beers - does th...

Boy you sure have packed heaps of things into this holiday, it's going to take you a couple of week at least to recover. It seems your hosts have done you proud with all the sight seeing and keeping your whistle wet! :D I reckon when you hit the sack here on Friday, you won't see daylight again for ...

Seems like you and Graham are having a wow of a time, and packing heaps into each day. :) Pity you haven't found time to have a bit of a jam yet. I'm sure if you trott out a few Rics Graham, Howard would be more than willing to play them, in fact I'm amazed he's not suffering withdrawal symptoms fro...

Turned out really nice Paul, you just can't beat that binding on the body, headstock and sound hole, really lifts a guitar IMHO. Larry's done a magnificent job once again. Tell me have your eyes got use to the colour, are you game to take the sunglasses off yet? LOL The hardware and the binding tone...

We had one of our gatherings of the clan on Saturday, to do the usual stuff, but it was mainly to give Howard a good send off. So we made sure he was primed with plenty of grog and pizza, (good beer food), for his annual pilgramige to the States - so look out he's in really good form! LOL He's alrea...

I got mine through a friend. You might try posting in the WTB section - you never know your luck.

Well, absolute success, thanks to John! :D After swapping the pickup wires around, I tried the guitar out before doing the other mod, and it worked a treat so there was no need to wire the 5th knob pot directly to the jack - that problem was fixed also! Very pleased now with the result, so many than...

Thanks a lot for your reply John, and as soon as I finish this I'll have a go at your mods.

I'll report back how it all turned out.

Here's one I hope someone can help with. I've just completed putting in a Ric HB in the bridge position of my guitar, (the other two are Hi Gains) and decided to do the 5th knob mod for the centre pickup, as per the instructions at: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/music/guitars/rickenbacker/ Well the resul...
