You can only "coil tap" a single coil pick up. While that's generally true, it's not a fact. You'll find that some Japanese guitars, mainly from the 70's came with pickups where the individual humbucking coils have been tapped. The selector switches can then choose from various permutatio...

Here's a local Orange County event that may appeal to some of you. The grand prize is enough studio time to complete an LP. I've recorded at Laguna Sound Studios before and have to say it's a pretty cool place to work.

Mmmm, sorry, no you can't buy Toaster™ covers there.

Customer service flat out said, it was NOT there responsibility once the customer buys it. That's total baloney. Either you or GC can/could have returned this under the terms of the warranty- you said you have the warranty card and what it says there in black and white refutes your statement. Appar...

Set up was like an amateur did it. It was a really bad example of a poor quality controlled bass coming from the factory. I also do not understand why no "0" fret? All the important, yet simple things for best playability were overlooked. Regardless, of personal playing preferences, all f...

All that will be needed is the ric-o-sound stereo cable. I think there's some confusion here. You only need a plain stereo cable between the amp and ROS output of the guitar. Possibly you've seen a non-factory kit where the stereo cord detaches from the splitter box- in which case you COULD use the...

The schematic is here.

This wasn't a CIA worthy task but I'm glad someone was up to the task of figuring it out from my clue!

Now figure out which one is for GC and which one is for Germany! BTW, the new shade of Red is Fire Alarm Red.

I should mention that Guitar Center still has another model coming as well, maybe as early as next month.

Let me give you guys a clue how you might see it.

He then told me that their agreement with Rickenbacker does not allow them to sell any Rickenbacker product for less than MSRP. Absolutely and totally incorrect. What IS true and what he may have said to you is that we don't allow dealers to ADVERTISE any price less than MSRP. (There are certain ex...

We have a Facebook page? Next you're gonna tell me we do Twitter too. No wonder there's so much overtime.

Close. All Platinum store plus a few select stores that we've added in areas that were otherwise under-represented. The Rickenbacker Dealer Locator identifies them.

The 360/12GG is just an overpriced 360/12... due to the dollar-euro rate or some such thing...

. . . with 21 frets, vintage hardware, case, and Toaster pickups, of course.

What could the the dollar to Euro rate possibly have to do with it?

I guess this must be an older model I'm not familiar with, as I've personally never seen an Onyx that didn't have Firewire or at least a Firewire add-on slot. (I've owned both types.) Presumably, then, you have the Tascam style breakout cables already that would allow you to go into any number of ex...
