Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

The song "hang me up to dry" has a nice little intro with the Ric. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get that particular sound?

Joey, thanks for the offer but the OC is a little too far from me. I am near the Burbank area in a town called Sunland. I've never seen a community of people more willing to help newbies to Rics like me. Thanks guys.

I really appreciate all of the replies guys. I live in Southern California, so its not ridiculously humid here. Perhaps my bass' setup would've lasted longer if it was done by someone more familiar with Rickenbackers? I'm not sure.

Thanks for the link Charly. That should help me from messing something up bigtime. Theres more to this whole setup thing than I thought. Now I just need to find a tool for the trussrods. I think maybe I'll try doing this on my old Ibanez bass first. Even though they're different, I need practice ...

The dual trussrods definately make me second guess myself doing a setup. I've read an online tutorial on another forum that didn't seem to help me too much. Any tips for a first time rod adjuster Scott?

I've had my '04 4003 for a little over 2 months. The first thing I did when I received it from a seller on ebay was get it set up. When I got it back the action was sweet and the new strings made the bass sing. Right now the strings have lost their bite, understandably. The action has raised ...

Thats really nice but that gold pickguard looks completely out of place.

Aw man, thats TERRIBLE. I'll keep an eye out on craigslist and ebay.

Kris, I ended up paying $1,170 including shipping for the JG. I was DYING to get a ric this Christmas. My first one! I'm happy to finally join the ric family. Thanks for the link.

Ah see that's nice, I hate stressing over auctions. I had to sweat it out until the very end. What's the name of that sniping program?

Nice buy Kris. I saw you swoop in at the last second and snipe that guy, very nice! I actually won the jetglo black 4003 that same seller had on there minutes before.
