Re: GEM Amp?
A friend of mine just picked up a GEM that looks like the TR7 and was asking me if it's Rickenbacker. So is it a Rickenbacker relabeled as GEM or was someone making the amps for Rickenbacker?

Re: Roll Call !!
I usually just peak in every once in awhile and don't always post, usually more in the winter as summer gets busy and I'm less on the computer.

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
So I guess one will fit on a 480. BTW Erik, I took the 0.0047 cap out of 2 of my 480's. They lost some of the additional chime I got in the middle position (toaster and HB togeter) that was such a sweet sound, but now its much more functional in the bridge position, so it was a bit of a trade off. ...

Re: Fane Ascension Series
Now that you've had some time to break them in, how does the H75 compare to the F70 overall? Would you still consider the F70 more like the old Purple Hiwatt Fanes or does the H75 strike you as more like them? You've also steered me towards the WGS ET90 and now i'm leaning that way for my 2x12 cab f...

Re: Eddie Rickenbacker Rickenbacker
Thanks all for the compliments. It's always fun when you have this idea or concept in your head and it ends up working out.

Re: Eddie Rickenbacker Rickenbacker
Chip, that looks cool! It's kinda the "Made in America Plus" sticker option :wink: Just the upper guard needs a different solution, too much white for the whole thing, a little out of optical balance, IMHO. Thanks Alex. I hope all is well! I was actually thinking of putting Eddie's plane ...

Actually I could but opted not to. I kind of looked at it like the front was the outside of the plane and the wood was the inside.Badanovski wrote:I like it. Too bad you can't do the entire body.

Eddie Rickenbacker Rickenbacker
I got tired of seeing the cracks in the finish of my 1991 Rickenbacker 330/12 that occurred in the late '90's. So I came up with a concept - the "Eddie Rickenbacker" Rickenbacker. The image printed is of the WWI flying ace's squadron "Hat in the Ring" logo from his SPAD biplane o...

Re: RRF activity
I usually start showing up more during the winter as my spring, summer, and fall are usually busy and I'm away from the PC.

I'm toying with the idea of putting on an Accent Vibrato on one of my 480's. Anybody seen it done?Grey wrote:Still loving the Trapeze!

Re: "Hot Toasters" vs Scatterwounds
.... While *I* like the sound of an overdriven scatterwound, most (non forum members/Rick players) don't. Many folks in the Ric community will agree with me. That said, while an overdriven Scat sounds good, it's no match for and easier to obtain with the hot toasters. The scatterwounds have less so...

Re: "Hot Toasters" vs Scatterwounds
Totally agree that the hot toasters sound great on 6's but not so hot on 12's.

Re: A Subtle Change: A Comparison of Two 480 Necks
My '73 480 MG and '75 480 AG have their original bridges and it's odd that the '73 has a flatter radius fretboard with a bridge cut for a slight radius and the '75 has a little more radius to the fretboard and the bridge is cut for a flat radius. This is all visual and I really don't notice a differ...
