Re: Rickenbacker.com has been offline recently

The 620/12 is under the Legacy page - https://www.rickenbacker.com/series/legacy/ "These models are no longer part of our current catalog, though remain a part of Rickenbacker’s enduring legacy!" It's a sort of 'Salon des Refusés' for past RIC models. Apart from that, I'd not heard anythin...

Re: Rickenbacker.com has been offline recently

It is good to see the site back, and looking good. However, I was surprised that the 620/12 has been dropped from production. Had that happened earlier, and I'd just missed the memo? On a positive note, the pics on the site for the 4005V show they're using the checkerboard binding on the back. Yummo...

Re: Is it happening? A new 4005?!

According to a dealer that I contacted, they'll be released in the US summer. Probably @ US$5K.

Re: Is it happening? A new 4005?!

Hi Folks,

Any suggestions for Dealers that'd take an order from, and ship to Australia? I'm not sure if I can afford it, but if I don't ask I'll never know.

Re: Rick-o-sound output brighter than standard?

Years ago, when I gigged for a short period, I had an Acoustic 320 which had 2 channels (A or B, or A&B) each with their own tone stack. I figure that'd be suited to Rick-O-Sound. Alas I didn't have a Rick then, and now I don't have the amp. Maybe it'll turn up someday.

Re: 360/6 & 360/12 in walnut

I grabbed a '98 650C late last year, which is a great player. It's definately in need of a clean, oli, and polish. Your post remnds me I need to put this on my list of things to do. That and new strings. Some of the Walnut guitars & basses look absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on your purcha...

Re: New banjoline video

Well done, Jason! Sounds great.

I had idea of what the Banjoline sounded like, and now I do. The Ballad of Easy Rider seems to me to be a great fit for this instrument.

Re: Touch Up paint for Fireglo, or any other RIC color?

A guitar tech friend of mine would gently touch up chips with a red marker to blend the colour. He recommended auto top coat. However, I've never tried this on a Rickenbacker. Just passing it along for consideration.

Re: Unbound 4003 Series Electric Bass Guitar - Jet Glo

What colour? Sweetwater has some Jetglos, Wildwood Guitars has some Fireglos & a Walnut. If you're not locked into your local supplier you may be able to find what you want elsewhere.

Re: It Happened Again

I feel your pain. My 12-string tailpiece blew apart in the early 00s, but it took me 5 years to replace it - lack of money & no local distributor in OZ. RIC wouldn't deal direct & I had to go through Japan. They were helpful, but it took over a year to get the replacement part. My recommenda...

650D Fretboard Dots

Hi Folks. I've picked up a '98 650D today, in a generally good, but dirty, condition. It's missing one of the two fretboard dots at the 24th fret. The generic replacement dots I can find online are too big. Can anyone recommend a supplier for the correct, or near size, dots? Also, best adhesive to u...

Re: Rickenbacker Luthiers Australia

Hi Gary, Unfortunately, I don't believe there are any RIC authorised techs in OZ. When CMI Music were (again) briefly the distributors for Aust, around 5 years ago, I asked if they had recommended repairers, and the answer was 'No'. With regards to capable luthiers and technicians, it can depend on ...

Hi Tibor,

Are you looking at the thumbnail pics or the large format pics? The thumbs are compressed, but the large format should be the same as you uploaded.
