Thanks for all your help, folks. My tuning problems are over! I did several things to remedy them, so I don't know for sure which thing was the solution but here is what I did:

Tightened up the tension screws on the tuners
Put on new Elixir polymer coated strings (9 - 42)
Stretched the new strings ...

Sometimes it goes out of tune after playing one song.

No, I don't, and I don't have the equipment to make that happen. I have tightened up the tension screws, as suggested by JimK, and now I am letting some time pass and playing it to see if that will have solved the problem. If not, I will have to look at some of the more complicated solutions you are ...

It seems to be all the strings and mostly they go flat.

I bought a used 1998 650C about a year ago, and I find that it just won't stay in tune. It occurs to me that maybe the tuning keys need to be replaced because they are getting old. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I am using the right string gauge (9 - 42) for this guitar, and it is ...

Tonight, October 29, Revolving Door will be playing at the Fox and Hound Pub in Fort Worth 10:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. Our bassplayer plays a Ric bass, and I play a 660-12 and a 650C. Come and hear that Rickenbacker vibe!

Yes, but all of these answers take us right back to where we started - whether it was Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Motown, the Beach Boys, the Everly Brothers, Paul's father's dance hall music, the Asher family, or any of the other acknowledged influences cited here, none of it would seem to ...

The Beatles were always saying that their music came from Little Richard and other such primitive rock n' roll sources, three chord stuff. If that is the case then where did all their complex melodies, harmonies, and chord progressions come from, unless there are some unacknowledged influences. One ...

I can't wait to see that, since I play in a Beatles homage band (we don't dress up in the suits and try to impersonate them, we just play the music). We're too old and fat and bald to try to look like them.

So, Scrambled Eggs will be playing a one hour set, from 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. Weather permitting, this will be a rooftop show.

Hey everybody,

I am just posting this to anybody around the Dallas area who might be interested in coming to hear our band play. I recently joined this Beatles cover band called Scrambled Eggs. I just had to start putting my Rickenbacker 660/12 to an appropriate use! So anyway, we will be playing ...

Well, it looks like we are in danger of having no drummer for this session, as Tony has said he doesn't know if he can come, since he is scheduled to work at that time. He'll try to get out of work, but makes no promises. None of the other drummers I have invited have responded. So if any of you ...
