Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

MF would never discount Ricks for me, tried many times. They did a price match -10% for one of my Ricks, but then stopped doing price matches. I buy a lot of things from MF, but not Ricks.

So I'm confused after reading all the posts.
I would like to add a vibrato to my 360, but without drilling holes.


Are my only options a modded B16 and a Rick Accent Vibrato ?

Thanks

I messed up, it's a new 1993plus. Really like the wider string spacing.

I got my new 1997 12 string. It played great, good action etc.
I decided to tune down 1/2 step, when I did this I got a little fret buzz, which was expected but didn't want to make any adjustments.

I tuned back up to standard tune and was still getting buzz on the low E. The way I tuned it was Ee ...

I ended up with one. The 1993 feel very different than the 381. For one thing the body thickness is less.
Also with the wider fretboard, playing it is much easier, even with small fingers.
I would recommend those looking at a 12 string to seriously consider the 1993.

Now recommendations on where you can buy plastic and the cutters.
Amazon is always good if you have recommendations.

I'm interested in plastic parts in general for guitar picks, stands etc.

Thanks

Can you recommend a good stencil pro kit?
Sounds like it would be useful for several projects.

Guess you could try to make your own, long as it was for your own use.

I've always wondered what it would take to make plastic parts for a variety of items (guitars, pinballs, etc.)
Always wanted to try airbrushing.

How about playability?

With the 381 I have problems holding down the E & A string sets.
The bass string is large and the octave string small, so when I push down harder it sometimes will mute out a close string.

I have small hands, but it still is difficult.

I was hoping the string spacing would ...

Looking at a 1993 Plus.
I already own a 381/12, but was wondering how much different the 1993 would be?

Thanks

One of the reasons I bought the Ruby/Gold was that I liked the gold.
My other Ricks have white, this one is different and looks good.

The gold goes good with the flake in the Ruby.

Love the 660, I added the accent vibrato and a roller bridge.

I have small hands, but find the 660 easier to play than the 360.
The thin body on it makes it nice and different from my other guitars.

I'm assuming you have the 6 string?

Changing strings should not be too bad as long as you don't take them all off at once.
Use some blue painter's tape to hold the string onto the tail, or use a capo or two to hold the tension.

I have a 381 12V69, beautiful guitar. I have not gotten accustom to ...

could be the nut seeing as the bridge is at its highest.

What if you take the nut out of the loop by fretting. Seems like having the bridge at the highest would not be preferable either.

Have you sighted the neck? Any bow either way?

If it's unplugged then I would say, a new set of strings may ...

I just bought a 660, the strings are top to bottom through the tailpiece, but that shouldn't make a difference in the problem you're having.

You may try a different cable, wiggling the cable/connector, different strings. The other possibility could be with the tone pot. There are also some ...
