Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

you did a great job on that man. It didn't appear to be salvageable, but you pulled it off!

I love this series. I'm tempted by the 4003. It looks so good in Walnut and I love the maple board.

Yea I love that design. Nelson does a really good version of the combo 600. It wasn't trademarked? I wondered how Nelson managed to build them without getting in trouble. I think he calls his the "attache"

I have always loved the style and sound of Rickenbackers, however where I live you never see them. I have only played two or three 4003 basses, a 620 and a vintage 360. This was spread out over 20 years of playing. My uncle has a 4003 mapleglo and my buddy in Montreal has a 620. Locally, I don't ...

They are all beautiful. I love Jetglo. Black suits Rickenbackers more so than any other guitar make IMHO.
I really love the blue one as well. That is vintage? So it must be the azureglo colour? Is it non metallic?

360s look so good in jetglo. Like a tuxedo.
Fretboard grain jumps out more with the lacquer on it, but I imagine it's a little quicker to navigate the board without the lacquer. Then again, maple board teles have lacquer on them, and they play fine.

Funny thing.. I decided to get a 330 instead. If I love it, I'll get the 620 next.
Thanks for the responses! Friendly bunch around these parts. Rare on guitar forums.....

For me it will always be the 620/660 and the 4003 bass.
I like 330s, but I have been slow to warm up to the 360.

Thanks for the replies. I am definitely leaning towards the 620. It will be my first ric guitar, so I'm better off price wise. If it turns out to be as good as I'm hoping, I can splurge out the cash for my next one. I've at least played a 620 a few times in the past, so it won't be too foreign to me ...

I hadn't seen the Greg Koch 660 demos. That guy is a madman. Definitely helps with the decision. There are a couple of decent demos of a german guy playing 620s, so that helps too. Not a lot of demos on the Tube.
Thanks for the responses. Keep em coming!

Hello folks,
I'm new to these forums. Name is J. I'm about to order my first Rickenbacker guitar (have owned a vintage 4001 bass in the past) and have decided on the 600 series shape. Problem is, I can't decide between the 620/6 and 660/6. The big difference being price, and I don't mind the ...
