Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
Actually, the camera does most of the work, I just set the focus to Macro and off we go. Truth be told I could use a better camera, and i've been setting money aside for a nice DSLR.jps wrote:Yeah, the guy using the camera had nothing to do with that.8mileshigher wrote:Thanks Erik.

Random pic to go with that comment.

Canon!!! And not a Rebel series, either.
I still love my 30D even if it is may be a bit out of date, and the L series zooms lenses are wonderful, especially my 70-200/4 USM IS.

DId they use different ones, I remember my 480 had dark, orange ones, not anywhere as light yellow as yours?Spike- wrote:The .0047 cap was a bass cut that sat between the bridge pickup, it was used on all 480 models and many other Rickenbacker guitars and basses, untill it was replaced with a shunt sometime around the late 80s early 90s.
Here's a pic of the harness on mine, you can see the small .0047 cap in place.

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
My '73 and '75 didn't have the cap but I put one in both. But the previous owners probably took them out. Some people didn't like them, would take them out and discard them, and put the shunts in. Keeping with the Thread's theme, here's a pic of my two babies playing outside.Wildberry wrote:DId they use different ones, I remember my 480 had dark, orange ones, not anywhere as light yellow as yours?Spike- wrote:The .0047 cap was a bass cut that sat between the bridge pickup, it was used on all 480 models and many other Rickenbacker guitars and basses, untill it was replaced with a shunt sometime around the late 80s early 90s.

Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed (and I mean that in an optimistic way).

Photographs of the 480 Series
Ok, here are some pictures from today, Sunday, about Noon, on a very overcast day outside. The 480 with new shiny screws, new chome High Gain ring, new foam mounting pad, the original selector switch from the original wiring harness and as much of the grime and sticker residue removed, as possible, with Zymol.

Very nice, Rich, I can't wait to see it in person at SCARF!

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Re: Photographs of the 480 Series
FYI that I played out last Sunday with my 480 MG and after the show a guy came up to the stage and said "That is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen!". Can't say I disagree.
