Re: Why Did You Let Your Rickenbacker Go?
I let my 330/12 go for two reasons - one, I realized that I was more in love with the idea of owning a Rickenbacker 12-string than actually playing it, and two, I wanted to use its value to help me finance another guitar purchase.
It was a lovely, lovely instrument, but I hardly ever played it.

Re: Prince passed...
I'd completely agree with your assessment, Joelle - he's up there with Bowie in my book too.
Paisley Park is two miles from my house. Feels like we've lost a neighbour as well. It's been a busy day around here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from an Englishman living in America. Today is my 31st Thanksgiving here, and it is by far my favourite holiday, even though I don't eat pie

Re: #playforChris - the video
Great job, Miguel, and all those who participated. I'm so glad Mr. Squire was able to see it.
Damn hard to watch though.

Re: Nut material on 650 Dakota
Thanks all. The high E string is a bit too close to the edge of the fretboard. I can re-cut and fill to move it in a bit but I was considering just replacing it. Hence the questions on material. Sorry for jumping to the wrong conclusion :) I don't honestly think the material matters - use whatever ...

What's the opinion on changing the nut to bone?
Unless the existing nut can't be adjusted to taste, replacing it is a pretty low-return proposition, IMO. Any sonic improvements will only be audible (if at all) on open strings.

Re: The 4003S is back!!!
At $1899, a 4001S should street for about $1350-$1400, which would make the budget model it was originally intended to be. Time will tell.... Pick of the Ricks has them available for pre-order at $1495. That may not be 'budget', but it's certainly not unreasonable. Heck, I haven't been a bass playe...

Re: The best money I ever spent
Lovely piece of functional engineering.
It's a shame they don't make one for a 12-string.
