Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I have never been keen on the walnut finish, but I have to agree with other posters, your gold modifications completely change the aesthetics; it does look truly SUPERB........congratulations.....an excellent "upgrade".

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone plays their Ric hollow body through an acoustic amp.

Looking for a totally clean tone, I recently bought a Roland JC40 to go with my newly acquired 350V63/12 and was delighted with the results BUT, I was aware that the sound out in the audience was painfully ...

Congrats on your new Rick!

Thank you......excellent guitar!!

I've tried your advice above, but no response so far

Hi,

I have recently bought a pre-owned Ric 350/12 from a dealer in the USA., and have tried to register it on the Rick. register. I received a message "ERROR: Serial number already exists for record #########, if it is yours please contact [email protected]"

I have done this, but my email ...

Also, the 350 has a chambered body, so it is semi-hollow.....

Thank you !! :D

If you knew your Rics, you would know that the 350 has a "chambered" body giving it a different timbre altogether!

Toaster, as opposed to high gain pickups..........another variable!

Chambered body = one pound ...

Just bought my second Rickenbacker and long time dream guitar, a 2008 mint condition 350/12string in Amberglow, to go alongside my 620/12.

My 620/12 has been my "go to" gigging instrument for a long time now, but having tried a 6 string version at a local music store many months ago, I fell in love ...

So,

worked a gig last night, fairly new building with new wiring, latest LED style spotlights. All my cabling/connections concurred with the information above and my "rig" was absolutely silent; no hum or buzzes, just crystal clear sound!!

I can only deduce from this, that, assuming all your gear ...

Interesting....as advised, I don't really want to change the pickups, particularly as I've just got the sound right, I think that would definitely be a last resort; I'm really just investigating the options.
Definitely no breaks in the cables; I have always used top quality cables, and keep them in ...

So, I have now got my Ideal combination........620/12 + Roland JC-40; FANTASTIC....but, I played a gig last night and encountered an issue that I've heard about, but have never come across myself before and, have no remedial knowledge of, and I'd appreciate some help please for when it happens again ...

Bought it!!

All I can say is WOW!! This amp just brings my Ric 620/12 to life; sparkling crystal clear sound, great reverb and tasteful chorus...........
12 string heaven!!

Thanks again for the tip!

My Local music store have been kind enough to loan me a Roland JC-40 to road test.After trying it at home, I have to say the sound is excellent; clean, loud and relatively light so maybe I shall invest in one. Thanks for the tip!!

Hi
Please excuse me if this has been covered before, but after thirty years of playing acoustic 12 string guitars, I am playing catch up and trying to absorb as much information about electrics as quickly as possible!
Following a wrist injury I found my acoustic 12 string a bit painful so decided ...

"Rickenbacker Jangle" is, I believe, a broad term regarding tone that is itself a very subjective issue.

I absolutely love my 620/12 and the wonderful sound it produces!! It is my preferred, regular "weapon of choice" gigging instrument; it is a fantastic guitar that I truly cherish!!

That being ...

What was the website that you went to and what exactly did you redirect? Please share as I (and probably others) would like to try the same modification. Thanks.
Steve
