Re: NRR-Recording advice needed

Get a good software package, like Pro Tools or Sonar or Logic and use the Mackie's Firewire to make it your audio interface. You will then have everything you need to record, as well as Mackie's really excellent VLZ preamps for mics, phantom power for good mics, and the analog part of the board for ...

Re: The W Series

for the record, to date only the 4003W and 360W have been ordered in left handed but a 360/12W would probably be made at the same time as a 360W.

Re: The W Series

Really? Every dealer I spoke to in the past few days said you will not be making these and will not take an order for one. Can you point me to a dealer that will take me seriously? I'm happy to pay the deposit and wait as long as it takes. Such is the life of the Lefty. Tell them to actually call o...

Re: The W Series

Actually, we've already taken a few orders for lefty W Series instruments and will produce them just as we do for most of the rest of the line- when we have enough orders within a model family to be able to do so.

Re: B16 Amp - Replacement Speakers

What are the correct replacement speakers for a B16 4x10 combo amp? http://www.jensentone.com/vintage_ceramic/c10q I think the C10Q is the right speaker, but the 8ohm or the 16ohm? Thanks in advance. Mine has 4 x C10Q's at 16 ohms, all wired in parallel. I can't swear its original, however, as the ...

Re: Rickenbacker Factory on Kilson Drive

John, Looking at the catalog page you posted......the 4000, AND the 4005 are listed as having 21 Frets. Am I reading this wrong??? I thought ONLY the 4001 had 21 Frets, and THAT was only a percentage of models for a couple of years. Correct me if I'm wrong please....... Funny- you're the first pers...

Easy. Tell him to send your parts and when you receive them, send his!

Re: Help with a TR 75 Stereo Amp...

You use a standard stereo cable between the ROS output on the instrument to this input. You'll then find one output on each channel. Essentially it's a built in ROS kit.

Re: Rickenbacker Factory on Kilson Drive

Ours was identical to that last photo. You could stack about 50 instruments or so in that van. This was the Super van option which had maybe a 24 inch extended section behind the rear wheels for extra capacity. I made the mistake of once loading up a number of bags of cement through the rear door in...

Re: Rickenbacker Factory on Kilson Drive

The original Frying Pan was made from a plank taken out of the back fence of this Western Avenue factory by Harry Watson. A researcher recently reconnoitered the back alley there to see if the fence still exists and unfortunately it does not. Not that even 85 plus year old hemlock is really worth sa...

Re: Rickenbacker Factory on Kilson Drive

I was also told that one of your dad's tasks was to drive a van full of finished instruments from the factory to the sales office every day... While he certainly did make that trip very often, I also have quite a few of those trips under my belt, as did some other warehouse employees over the years...

Re: Rickenbacker Factory on Kilson Drive

John did your father own that property on Kilson? I am told that there was a fence between the buildings when the factory was there. Also that the instruments moved between the various buildings on carts? Any memories of the place to share? Depending on the point in time, there were up to five buil...
