Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Wish I could give you some kind of answer but my only experience with RI horseshoe pickup is with two of the earlier, hotter ones; regarding hi-gains, the two basses that I had that came with them were replaced with scatterwound toasters upon arrival.

Congrats! Looks really nice.

He certainly hasn't been around here in a long time that I recall.

I wonder if Woody has been in contact with Sergio; Woody and his partner moved to Portugal a couple years ago.
