Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

What year is Buck's 360? I thought I read it was 1980 but I've been unable to retrace my internet steps...

Thanks all!

There's a big thread on the Talk Bass about the deal, pretty interesting. So far they've reported receiving a 2010, a 2011, and someone had a cracked hardshell case which MF is replacing. MF will always take back guitars and basses for a full refund, and usually they re-sell the opened returned as &...

I had a 660 and really liked the neck. I would absolutly buy a 360 with the 660 neck, best of both worlds! I would still keep and rock my 330 as well. Rickenbacker made a cool one-off like this, in gun metal grey with black hardware I believe. I would order one of those the day it was available and ...

Mmm... where did I see the red plectrum last... oh, wait, I use one of Peter's picks myself :lol: Cool :D what brand/thickness is it? They're red Dunlop nylon .73 mm - I know he's used yellow ones as well, as a friend got some in the 80s. What thickness these yellows are I don't know. I don't even ...

I put one on my 330 and love it. No modification needed. It is much easier to re-string, and it made the guitar strings buzz less. I think it was the change of the break angle, but now it sounds slightly tighter, more focused, and less buzz-y. I wasn't expecting this in any way, but it is a welcome ...

Hi all, I recently snagged a 660/6, really cool guitar. I was wondering if I could put 12 gauge strings on it without needing to adjust the truss rod? I like 11s normally, on my 330 and Fenders, but the 660's short bridge seems to make the strings a bit looser than I am used to. 12s are not scary, a...

New Ric shipping from Nashville to the East Coast, with the weather being nicer, I shouldn't have to wait to open it, right?

Oh yea bought a new 660!

Hi, I’m a lurker here, an active reader but never post. I am a big Beatles and REM fan and I am looking to get a Rickenbacker to cover that territory. There is a 2005 at my local Guitar Center in very good condition at a fair price but I have always fancied getting a JetGlo (like Lennon and Buck). ...

Cool thread and good info. I'm interested in the idea mentioned of Buck playing "rolled chords", anyone have any video examples of this?

Hi all, I changed the R tailpiece on my 08 330 to a trapeze. As others have reported, the tone is somewhat sharper, more metallic I suppose. I actually like it this way, it sounds the same plugged in but unplugged it's a nicer tone I think. One thing I noticed is the buzzing issues I was sporadicall...

Hi all, I am planning on getting one of the Winfield Vintage trapeze adapters for my 2008 330, and using the trapeze instead of the R tailpiece. I'm looking for easier string changes, and honestly some variety too. Too much time with a Strat has left me a tinkerer :) Anything I should know about the...

Hi all, I am considering getting a new/barely used 4003 bass to go along with my 330. I am not experienced in the pricing of this model, however, and was hoping to know what prices I should look for. I see most stores and ebay listings around $1600-1700 or so, but in my experience with the guitars s...

yikes.. how much are these prizes worth ? 1) A 1991 325 JL 2) 2010 4001c64s 3) $500 gift cert. if they sell 199 tickets at $100... that's $19,900 isn't that a LOT... like a lot a lot.. more than the prizes are worth ? But if you win, you got a $2000+ guitar for $100...good for them for the raffle i...

Ric = #2
Variax 1, Fender 3

Real cool idea BTW
