Re: Fender Amps

Hello All

I think the majority opinion is the deluxe reverb or the princeton, they are both available in the UK so I will be able to try them out.
As I said in a previous thread if I do buy a Tele then i will have a Vox Night Train, Princeton/Deluxe Reverb, Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom and Ricky ...

Re: Fender Amps

Looking at something the size of a twin or single speaker combo.
That covers a lot of ground, almost any Fender amp can be described like that. :wink:

Do you want a tube, slid state, digital or analog effects, 6", 8", 10", 12"; how many $$$ do you to spend? Modern or vintage style? We could use ...

Hi Jeffery

Looking at something the size of a twin or single speaker combo.

Fender Amps

Hello All

Had my 620/6 a while now through a Vox Night Train, a great combination, and various pedals.
Just wondered if anybody out there is using any Fender Amps and what sort of sound they are getting.
Looking for a second amp, maybe a Fender??????????????????

Thanks

John

Re: String Buzz

Hi Folkie

I had a look at the bridge and the buzzing was coming from there so I raised it a bit and that seems to have solved it. I bought the guitar new but I don't know how long the strings have been on the guitar. I don't know why the buzzing started as the guitar has been either on a stand or ...

Re: String Buzz

Hi Folkie

The string buzz is at it's worst with open strings, I have to fret them harder than normal to kill the buzz, as I say I have not altered the bridge so am puzzled as to why it has started out of the blue?

Thanks

String Buzz

Hello

I have owned my beautiful 620/6 Midnight Blue since October last year and am now getting some string buzz that has come from nowhere. I have not changed the set up and I have not given the guitar a knock so I don't know why it has started. Having never owned a Rickenbacker before I have no ...

Second question

What products would the Rickenbacker world recommend for taking care of my beautiful 620/6 in Midnight Blue.

At the moment I ...

Re: New Owner

Hello All

Just like to say thanks for all the advice I have received on this thread, it's much appreciated.
Just to answer johnp's question, I don't have any ambitions to be in a band and don't have access to a rehersal room so something along the lines of a AC15/30 would be plenty big enough. In ...

Re: New Owner

Thanks All

My brother has recentley bought a Vox AC30, so I can try that out the next time I visit. In terms of budget, a AC30 is at the top end but as I have my Vox Night Train I can take a bit of time to make a choice, looks like I have a few choices.
In terms of my guitars I bought my Les Paul ...

Re: New Owner

Wait a minute. You just started to learn how to play...and you already have two guitars...and they are a Rickenbacker 620 and a Gibson Les Paul?!?

Friend, it's all downhill from there. Most people climb the mountain. You started at the summit.

I know what you mean Tommy, I started to learn on a ...
