Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

At the moment I'm borrowing a friends' '65 JL Casino.How good is it? I got to A/B it with a good condition original at a local store, and IMO, the RI Blew Away the original.And the original was no turkey...YMMV...

Yes, Mark, Pauls' original taped Rick was indeed a 366-12; somewhere, I have pics of the Airplane live from around '68, and the guitar in the pic I'm thinking of I'm quite sure Still had the converter on it. By Woodstock and Altamont in '69 was when the black electrical tape was applied.I got to see...

Sad news for any Weather Report fans; a great keyboard man gone...RIP

Not to answer for Dale Or Paul; but what I always do if I'm steel wooling frets, is First, Cover the area around the PUs w/ masking tape[you gotta get creative on different mfr guitars; Strats are easiest this way..], after you are done, whisk brush and blow off the fine wool particles.A little more...

That's "Did you see her eye" by the Illusion.Haven't heard that one in years, cool song..

If you want to hear what Arnquist has to offer on this subject, email him arnquist@comcast.net

I'm sure he can provide some insight as to what he did .

Could you not just wire in a coil that is reverse wound , with no magnets and wire that into the circuit in series ? Wouldn't that stop the 60 cycle hum ?

Gene, If you need the exact ones as they used on old Kustom amps, and can't find "non-script ones, " get scripted ones from Rick; they are The Same as the ones Kustom used, but with added script. You can remove the script easily with a rag and judicious use of acetone.

The bass Lesh has here was a 60s Gibson EB-O, or maybe originally an EB-3.In any case, retrofitted with Guild/Hagstrom Bi-Sonic PUs, and modded by Alembic...

They could be original, with the lettering simply all worn off, or perhaps the lettering was starting to wear, and the owner took the rest of the print off[acetone on a cotton wad, or rag will do it easily, BTW..] The old Kustom amp co. used to use these knobs as well, with No lettering on them.

Rick did not, and does not make their nuts from nylon....The black ones are phenolic[aka Bakelite], white ones are bone.

Very recently, I'd been checking around to see who has a C63 12 in stock, and Mike Parks had a new Jetglo in stock[since has sold, sigh].He sent me some really good pix of it, and one shot in particular caught my eye; a straight on shot of the headstock.This guitar's headstock did Not have that, for...

The 325-12 I had that was made in mid 80s had only 1 truss rod; until then, I'd never seen a Rick with only 1...

Any of you guys seen or played through these? I'm kinda interested in the 2x12" Neo cab...
