Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

No because of the problems with this set as set forth in my earlier post. I went back to find your earlier post in this thread and it refers to intonation issues with an unwound 3rd in relation to the octave 3rd on a 6 saddle bridge specifically. I have a 12 saddle bridge, which I clarified in the ...

Has anyone tried elixir 12 string 10-46 gauge? It's got lighter octave strings, an unwound 3rd, and a slightly heavier E and A string than the Rickenbacker brand set. I'd guess this might be troublesome intonation-wise with a 6 saddle bridge, but my 330/12 has a 12 saddle bridge that a previous own...

Some years ago, Fender did offer a Strat 12-string, and currently offer a Squier Jazzmaster 12-string. A simple Google search will find them. Instead of trying to retrofit a neck, I suggest that if you really want a Strat or JM version, you get one of these instead. Fender, as well as others, tends ...

The poles (of the button-tops) or the sleeves (of the screw poles) are made to be in contact with, or against the bar magnet on the bottom to transfer the magnetism through the pickup. I know this, because I had a pickup with drop-outs. It turns out there was a thin film of the glue or the adhesive ...

No forum?

How about a third pickup in the middle position?

First, my '79 Vibrolux I used to own already had the 3-prong cord, as the factory converted from 2-prong to 3-prong UL standard in the late '70's. So on every other amplifier I had over time that only had 2-prong outlets I had my tech convert them to 3-prong. the advantage is that after adding the g...

I have not read all three pages. Two pointers: 1) Purchase a set that has a wound 3rd unison G string so it will intonate properly with the octave plain G string. That excludes D'A and some others. 2) The low E string will have issues unless the octave E string is a large diameter compared to the un...

Really?

See above. Since the Rickenbacker factory forum is down, I will describe my mod using a push-pull on the 5th knob: 1) push-pull down: Selector switch: up - neck pickup middle - neck and bridge pickup with inline capacitor down - bridge pickup with capacitor 2) push-pull up: Selector switch: up - mid...

As with my other thread, I had to bump, because of all the Beatles influences. On this song, I wanted a song that was like California Dreamin', but harder. Well, it's November, and we had record cold last week. Thanks for the bump.

OK, with the release of the "last" Beatles song, Now and Then, I had to bump this thread. More details: compression on the bass, pillow and close-mik-ing the drums, the aforementioned double tracking of guitars, fx on the vocals, etc., all the studio tricks pioneered by the Beatles. Yes, o...

Yes, Zombie thread. But I must correct inaccuracies stated above about the 4002. I have a 4002. The coils are end-to-end or split coil humbuckers. The neck pickup measures between 8 and 8.5 kohms. It is not interleaved as is the bridge pickup. The bridge pickup has the interleaved windings of @ 750 ...

Hey. Kenny. What are the neck's particular persnicketies? I’m just trying to get the neck dead flat, and it’s not. Plays well, just want it, well, just right. ‘60s 12-string, so I’m trying to go gentle. this opinion comes from owning three 1981 instruments with the old-style hairpin truss rods and ...

The search engine is your friend. A brief google of "Roger McGuinn Byrds Glasses" popped up this in less time than it is taking me to type this post: https://www.atomretro.com/product_info.cfm?product_id=24287&d=madcap-england-mcguinn-mod-granny-glasses-green and ebay https://www.ebay....
