Fellow Rickoholics I know this has been probably been brought up so many times but was wondering a couple of things 1) Are the replacment Hipshot machine heads better than the Ric version 2) The hipshot bridge replacement, there are two types Brass and Alluminum. Is one better than the other. Whilst...

Looks like one hot-dog! :lol: You know I recently had for fly from Australia back to the England a my sister died. I took my ipod and had some photos including Reg in the pot. I flew Korean Airlines, you get the most amazing look from Koreans when they see your dog in the pot. You know even when he...

Great photos of dogs and Rics, mustn't forget the Ric But here is my dog, his name is Reg named after PC Reg Hollis from the British TV series The Bill Reg is a Maltees X Shitzu, although when you see some of the landmines he leaves around the house he is much more Shitzu than anything else. Which r...

Turramurra music! there a very profesional bunch without the usual Sydney guitarshop nonsense... I forgot about them! Eden. My personal view of Turramurra music is they are the best shop around in Sydney area and there prices are alwaygs brilliant. More to the point you don't have to fit the stereo...

Shield paint is conductive paint that you can paint into the control routings etc and make sure that it comes in contact with the control plate (to complete the shield) You should be able to get from Venue or some of the Paramatta road shops and could even try Smithy's I actually use a water bassed...

You will find that with the DP123 pickups that the earth is vital. Whilst humcanceling the DP123 pickups are poorly shielded in the wiring department (ie none) and they buzz fairly badly. Even with the bridge earthed you will find that the DP123s get a fairly noisy "hands off" buzz. If yo...

This is not about my 4003 as the bridge is earthed, however I bought my self a Squier Fretless bass nearly a year ago, I thought it was a great way to try fretless cheaply incase I was hopeless at it.(Im not brilliant but I get by and fool a lot of people) Anyway I am about to fit Dimarzio DP123 pic...

Hello Gary and all other repliees. I got it sorted, They must actually run a tap through the wood to create a thread, when it came out I thought it was a woodscrew but realisend it is actually a bolt. I had some PVA woodwork ( It called Aquadhere here in Aus), I decided to put some on a tissue then ...

I have a 2008 Ric and I have noticed that the straplock on the horn is not very secure, it tends to unscrew out of the body and this could have dissasterous results if not corrected. I have tightened it by hand. Unlike conventional straplocks that are a woodscrew throuth the end of the straplock the...

There is one great mystery to all this. I wanted to share it with other so they could save a bit of money if they wanted to buy a US made instrument. I put a similar posting on the Ricenbacker Forum and they removed it. i just don't get it, You know what is wrong with someone such as my self buying ...

Last year I bought a Ric 4003 from the USA, it was shipped FEDEX and when it arrived I had to pay duty etc etc, this consisted of all the various components including GST duty quaranteen fees etc etc . But then I got speaking to another geezer who told me that if you buy American made items and impo...

I seeek the wise counsel of those of others. A very simple question really. One of my straplocks is unthreading itself , these are the one piece type where the straplock and the thread are a single peice. Ok I have tighteed by hand by its still comes loose. What do you think would be the best way to...

Welcome fellow New South Walesian! Don't panic about strings too much. You will find the 4003 quite flexable to different string brands and types.. What type of string do you normally prefer? Eden. Greeting sEden, Well s strings are such and interesting subject, obviously the Ric has Ric strings be...

Hello Blokes I live in Sydney, and bought my first Ric 4003 in Mapleglo in April 08, it was imported from the US. Now Ric don't allow dealers to sell overseas so how Im I supposed to buy Ric strings. Lets face it the reason I bought the Ric is because they are simply sensational basses. I can unders...
