Hi Paul - It's been 5-6 years since I had this issue, so I'm hoping I'm remembering correctly... I believe the solution that was suggested to me (and worked) was to make a slight adjustment to the truss rod on the E-string side. I can't remember for sure which direction the twist was - but it was a ...

Hi Douglas - I had the same problems with my 330 - playing a note hard while in the middle position was enough to rattle the switch and cause some crackling. I had emailed rickenbacker support, and they told me to spray some switch cleaner into the switch, toggle it back and forth a few times, and t...

Yes it was...

Hmm, maybe it's time I re-evaluate my life. I always seem to go after the wrong type of girl.

Get it quick and play the hell out of it! And I swear the greasy palm print isn't mine.

Hey Scott - I think I know the guitar you're thinking of getting - I've held it in my own grubby hands! It plays great, sounds great, looks great, and seems to be in awesome condition. The owner of the store told me it was a trade-in on an alembic something-or-other, and he didn't have specific know...

I had always thought he was a bit of a 'something-or-other', from reading his website, hearing what everyone else says, and from talking to someone at his store a couple years back that may have been him (judging by the hasty and rude way I was treated, it seemed very 'Ed'). The thing that kind of p...

...of course, I just got home and tried out my box and it seems to introduce some noise... maybe a grounding problem.

So feel free to ignore my last post!

I was considering doing something like this, but I didn't really feel comfortable doing any kind of modification to my bass - my soldering skills are mediocre at best. So my solution was to exploit the ric-o-sound and build a little box that has a stereo input, a dpdt switch, the capacitor, and a mo...

Hi Patrik - I just recently bought a 4003, about a month ago, and had the same problem. It was only on the bridge pickup, however, and was also only noticeable when using a pick. When picked, the other strings had that bright 'tang' that made them louder than the E string. I was able to pretty much ...

Hello, I'm looking for a guitar to complement my American Series Telecaster - not replace, mind you - I'm looking for something a bit heavier tone-wise, and I far prefer the unique look of a Ric to Les Pauls, SGs, or any other such guitar. The 650's look like a good candidate for what I want, based ...
