Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi Greg, Congrats on the new CW - they are awesome instruments. Part of the mystery of Rickenbacker Limited Edition models is that the company has never released the "official" numbers on the Carl Wilson models; there are 6 and 12 string models, and FireGlo and JetGlo models, but no one o...

I belong to a number of different guitar brand forums, and I have to say that the Ric forum seems to be the one least frequented by members. Now the conclusions that we draw from that can be numerous and varied: A) Ric players have fruitful and busy lives B) when it comes to their Ric guitars, Ric ...

Hey Paul,
Thanks for the report on the new Janglebox. I have the USA JB2 that's not going anywhere!

Wow.... That Guitar is Smokin !!

Welcome Oliver,
Enjoy your new Ric 330. I like the look of the F hole too. (Now you need to pick up a JMI or Korg made in UK Vox AC-15).

Leeds huh? LUFC... I lived in Harrogate years back. Sorry.. I am a Liverpool and Rovers fan.

....The dual output was much better then blending a single output, but even then I always thought the guitar sounded "funny." Just in a general way. Hey Jason, I too prefer using the dual output's versus one single output. I think the "funny" sound you referred to is the humbuck...

Would the number of output jacks be a reliable indication of the electronics? My 1995 380L has a single jack while my 1999 380L PZ has dual jacks. Were dual jacks only used on PZ equipped versions? I was browsing the old posts and ran across this 380 topic. I was wondering if the one output was the...

Have you looked into getting a Jangle Box? Vincent took the words out of my mouth. I bought a Janglebox last month and cannot believe how well it projects the sound of a Rickenbacker. (or anything else you play through it!). It was well worth the the extra bucks for the Janglebox. I use for mainly ...

Hey Tim,
Should the girl be in the stockings when the guitar is being buffed?

Use Tung Oil on Walnut finishes. You give it a gentle hand rub it and buff as needed!
Does a great job on my 380pz.

Why oh why oh why would someone take the time to write a blog like this? It's like writing a blog about hummus, if you didn't like hummus, the way it looked, and/or other people's opinion of hummus, but you'd never eaten it because they don't carry it in the convenience store where you shop. . Hey ...

Most anything sounds good with a JB. I've hooked up my Telecaster to it, and also my Gretsch G5120. I don't have anything with Gibson style humbuckers, however. But I'm sure that kind of guitar would sound fine, too. JimK Your right Jim...... everything sounds great playing through it! Glad I went ...

The Janglebox works great with the Ricks, What other guitars go well with a JB? Any opinions, sugestions?

Yes.....

Hey Howard, Glad you like your 620. Chris does a great job ! I really love the set up he did on my new 360/12. I have known him for quite a few years. A honest guy to do business with. I think he is at a guitar show this weekend up in your neck of the woods (King of Prussia?? Great Philly Show). Say...
