moved to for sale section... sorry

If Rickenbaker doesn't get the card, you have no warranty. (Customer service told me this a couple of years ago).

Horrible song... horrible decade!

48 hours seems a bit extreme to me. It seems like I'm always getting guitars on the coldest days. I normally bring them in and open them in about 8 hours(4 hours in the shipping box and 4 hours in the case), but I've done it in as short as 3 hours also (1 hour in the box, 2 in the case). I guess I ...

And when you send in the card, put in in an envelope! My card was never received by Rickenbacker (although I mailed it, I even kept a copy of it). My subsequent warranty request was originally denied, my local dealer twisted some arms and it was finally fixed by Rickenbacker though.

That is a GREAT looking 230!

I've done it when ever I've owned a 12. It doesn't feel that weird to me. Sometimes the neck needs to be adjusted... but not re-set!

well, maybe $850 isn't so bad...

Well there is one on ebay now, so in 3 days and twenty-three hours, we'll have a general idea what they are worth. $850 sounds pretty high to me.

Thanks Tracy, I have no meter so I just popped the 5Z4 in there and played for about 2 hours and it didn't blow up or anything. When I bought this amp (chassis only) I had an amp tech replace any questionable components. Now with the 5Z4 in there, the sag, of which there had been a lot, is greatly ...

Well there is a little info about your M-9 here...

Is the 5Z4 a "plug and play" replacement for the 5Y3 rectifier? I love my M-11 (with 6sc7's) but I find it's not loud enough to overpower our light hitting drummer. The M-11 is pretty loud, but when I turn it up past 5/8's it begins to sound like a Marshall, and thats not really the sound I'm going ...

Does the 850 have a short scale like the 325? It looks like it does..

Yep, it was on ebay and he said he didn't get a single bite at $990.
I seriously need a six-string Rick again. You got any extras over there Kevin?

I didn't need another guitar...
A friend of mine calls me two days ago and asks if I'd like to buy his 360/12?
"hmmm...how much?"
$800
"wow, thats low, is it fireglow?"
no it's Burgandy

I'm holding it now. I never realized burgandy is somewhat translucent. This is the prettiest thing i've ...
