Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi, I have a Transonic 200 and I love it for guitar but I don't like the bass through it as much. It seems like the tone controls zero in better on guitar frequencies than bass. I have a 4001 and usually play it through a Mesa Boogie Walkabout which I love. The Transonic cabinet would actually make ...

Hi,
I have an RG 180 Rickenbacker amp that I would like to register, but it is not on the pop up list of equipment. Is there any way I can register it?
Thanks

I have a Fender Super 112, a dreaded red knob tube amp from the 80's. It is a great amp. I have 3 fenders and a Rickenbacker Transonic 200, as well as an RG180, and have owned a Vox AC15 and some Mesa's. I sold the Vox because the Fender Super 112 could do anything the Vox could do. It has extremely...

Hi, I bought an RG180 about a year and a half ago for $125. It is a guitar amp from the same series, and it's quite powerful. Sounds good too, and has some nice features.

Hi, I just bought an RG180, made in the late 80's. It is an extremely versatile and fairly powerful amp with 2-12's, and two channels. One channel has overdrive and a really cool sweepable mid tone control, so you can boost and cut the mids where you want, and the tone controls are very sensitive. A...

I've been using a transonic 200 I stumbled across a couple of years ago. It is unique in sound and appearance. I also use Fender and Vox tube amps, and I don't mind the lack of tubes at all in the transonic. Mine is very warm with very strong midrange and treble punch, remarkably like you would expe...

I am definitely interested. My 200 is still being worked on so I haven't had much experience with it yet, but I would like to hear what other owners have to say.

Thanks very much!

Hi, just discovered this forum, it's great. Anyway my 200 is distorting in a rather distressing way. Can anyone recommend a repair person in Southern California? I am in San Diego. Thanks
