Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

... In the end it's your choice, both the V2 and Hipshot are great and work well. Thank you for the quick reply and the link! I'm leaning towards the Rickenbacker option just to keep my bass a pure as possible. Can you tell me if the adjustability features on them are the same? Hi, The Hipshot has ...

Very true, and also a very very steep downhill drop

Very nicely finished, and the polished edges do indeed look great

is it possible chequered binding is more comfortable to play than plain ....... discuss. It's just that the beauty eases the pain! :mrgreen: Well, it does always look nicer, as for discomfort, I've not experienced any. Perhaps the discomfort level is more to do with the position of the 4003 and how...

Hi, I've used and own both, and my preference now would be the new V2 from Rickenbacker. The Hipshot is a great bridge, and depending on whether you choose the Brass or Aluminium version there is a fair weight difference, as you point out the Hipshot will drop in with no additional drilling or screw...

I seem to be the only person I’ve heard of who finds the bound basses more comfortable than the unbound ones! I’ll have either though, if anyone is giving them away. 😉 I"m similar, both are equally comfortable to play, and, happy to accept any and all donations. Currently (if you count V-63 an...

Or .... Transparent Fireglo

Congratulations, looks fantastic.

Larry does indeed do fantastic work, he recently completed a substantial rework of my 1973 Fretless, converting it to Fretted.
Here's the link to my journey with Larry

Welcome to the Forum, very nice Fireglo

The more I look at the Fender Blonde finishes the more I am convinced that that was what Chris and Sam were aiming for. Regarding what type of paint Sam used..its anyones guess but one would have to look at what suitable mixtures of spray paints would have been available in the London of 1970. Car/...

+1 Very sad news indeed.

New server seems great, as stated by others, adding a picture is much easier

... I have the final archive pictures from Larry and I'll post a few of them shortly. *crickets chirping* :shock: 8) Hi Everyone, sorry for the delay, who'd thought Retirement was busier than when I was working. I've received the high res files from Larry but have been way too busy to get them uplo...

I put one on my current V63. When I bought the TP years ago off ebay, It had 2 extra screw holes. I had them filled and went ahead and had the bridge pocket milled out for a modern bridge, then re-plated. Unfortunately, shortly after I got it all back from Larry D, the HS quit working and it's sat ...
