Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks again Dustin.... I'm glad it went to a forum member! And glad too it arrived safely. I always worry about shipping these things. Happy playing!! .....Martin

Thanks, I thought of that, but I need this thing gone faster than fast.

Keep your eyes peeled. In a week or so next up is my Tuxedo---the real deal.

Well, I hope someone on the forum can take advantage of this. Sadly I just listed my Macca Ric bass on EBay for a buy it now of $1950... I know....I know... It's the economy...

Jerry, I think you may have nailed it. Check out this photo. It's clearly a leather strap tie in this photo, and it would of course go under the strings and in front of the nut.
If what I thought was a zero fret in the video is actually the nut , then it looks like there is something else (white ...

What kind of capo can you store UNDER the strings? You can clearly see the strings go OVER whatever is there. Hmm...

Hello Beatles lovers!

We all know about Paul's love of zero frets on his bass guitars... His Hofner has one, his Rickenbacker 4001 has one, (my 4001C64S has one), but I never considered he'd carry this love of zero frets so far so as to put one on his Epiphone Texan acoustic guitar. Then while ...

Got mine some time ago... It's fantastic. Love all the details about the hardware.

Kira Moon... I still have a mint copy of that 45 sitting right here on my shelf!! And ah yes...Tower Records...memories of days gone by.

Bangla-desh - by George Harrison... That song changed many lives, not only mine. It was George's concept of doing a "concert for..." that started all the "concerts for" causes, and many lives and much good has been done over the years because of his concept. I was lucky enough to have attended the ...

Here's another of the elusive little critters...

He leaves little doubt about what he wants for it! Owned by a forumite? ...anyone?

Our basses, guitars, drums, keyboards, etc., are just the tools of our craft---nothing more. Of course some will always consider them "fashion"... but that is not what music and playing is about. Try to think of it this way; make your playing your musical statement. Then, when you have successfully ...

Ugh... Are you trying to tell me something my dear?

Are you refering to the EV B-210 cabinet?

Yep, those are the ones. It's been so long since I've looked at the model numbers I'm not sure what I have!
I find they are great for the mids to upper mids without feeling scratchy like the SWR tweeter type thing.

Well, for me it's not so much about the "amp" subtleties as it is the cabinet. I'm partial to the old Karlson bass cabinets with a single 15" EVM speaker. For a club scene one Karlson cabinet with a second dual 10" EVM cabinet is all you need for even the loudest club gig. For outdoor concerts I ...

A nice way to get rid of the "proximity effect" that a large diaphragm condenser mic produces, and also get rid of the boomy acoustic guitar sound is to record the guitar with an omni capsule. I like to use a very inexpensive Oktava MC or MK-12 with the omnidirectional capsule on it. It's awesome ...
