Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Wasn't there a dealer in Haymarket or Gainseville area? I remember going into a nice shop there in the early 2010s. The shop (Classic Axe Guitar Gallery) has been gone for about 6-7 years now. The owner moved to Texas and is now retired. My wife used to manage the store from 2006-2010. Chuck Levin'...

20 years for me this November...time surely does fly. Came over from the old alt.guitar.rickenbacker newsgroup. I have been very fortunate to get to know many of you over the years and even meet some of you as well. Thank you Peter for providing us a forum where we can talk, discuss, and dissect our...

20 years for me in November...can't believe it's been that long...congrats Peter, here's to 20 more!!!

Jonathan, you could always get those nameplates that guy on FB makes out of wood with a matching wood treble bezel... :shock: :shock: :shock: I could, but I won't. Those wood bezels really don't do it for me. Maybe they don't do it for you either, hence the shock smileys in your post? :lol: You kno...

My old 79 4001BG is in the registry as a Collected Item...bought it in October 1980 with my summer job money when I was 15.

As for the OP...adjust the truss rods when your bass is tuned to pitch...it's even in the manual: http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdfs/manual.pdf

Still here!

You should always adjust the rods tuned to pitch as Joey says. I'm gonna take a quick look at Paul's book but I really don't think that he said that the strings should have no tension as you adjust the rods...

Our esteemed moderator Joey Vasco has a wonderful and very informative website that you should check out: http://www.joeysbassnotes.com
Good luck!

Wecome back Kevin. Hang around, most of the crowd has jumped over to Facebook. Its been pretty quiet here for quite some time. :( Yeah and facebook's just fantastic. :roll: I was recently informed there that I don't know what I'm talking about. :lol: Pretty sure the guy got banned and the post dele...

I believe Sepp bought it from Paul...he was trying to sell it at the end of 2012.
