Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi Randy, I grew up in the San Diego area so saw a bit of the San Diego and Los Angeles bands. My first exposure was a local rock radio station, KGB-FM, that had a weekly punk show. Then as it turned out a couple of guys from The Zeros, who were the hottest punk band in San Diego at the time ...

I graduated from high school in '79, and the songs that really seemed to stand out for me at the time were the ones that lyrically spoke directly to dissatisfaction with the status quo. Songs like Richard Hell's "Blank Generation", The Stranglers' "Something Better Change", The Jam's "The Modern ...

Thanks Gil! Now I just need to find some time to upload some pictures ...

The only song I know is "You Really Got Me", and I love it.

What is a good compilation album for me to start off with? I'm planning on getting in to this band, and I want to know a good compilation.

"The Kink Kronikles". It covers up through the "Lola" LP, the golden era of the Kinks.

Once the ...

I emailed a registration for my 4001 some years ago, when I was not a registered user of the forum. The bass shows up in the register, but is not associated to me as a user. Can someone update the record to associate it with me? serial removed by admin, mapleglo 4001 (currently tagged incorrectly as ...

Elys, I suspect it's just some sloppy website editing. On the previous page:

http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/bassGuitars.html

it's correctly described as a 4003FL, although they're using some stock 4003 descriptive text that includes "deluxe triangular inlays", which obviously do not appear ...

A local (Colorado Springs) builder has been getting some good press lately. I've seen the ukes in their shop and they are beautiful. Way outta my price range:

I've been playing around since Christmas with a Flea soprano uke from Flea Market Music, and it's a ...

Sure does. Now it gets back to Peter's question, I wonder what got into him to sand it more and smooth out those horns. Any ideas on how long it was in that intermediate state (sanded w/ cresting horns)? It was bare wood at the time, correct? That would tend to collect dirt/sweat/whatever, maybe the ...

Guess my brain was not fully engaged when you posted that picture earlier, I completely missed the point. Thanks Brian, very interesting, first time I've seen Paul's bass with the paint stripped but horns still cresting.

I always thought it was just a result of aggressive measures taken when removing the psychedelic paint job, and not necessarily done with any intent to reshape the horns.

(those are/were my pickups in the for sale section, I posted the dimensions there, but I'll post them here too for future forum searches)

Hi John,

Notice that there are 4 screws/nuts in the corners that hold the cover faceplate to the mounting plate, so that adds a bit to the height as well. I ...

The seller also has that bass listed on Denver craigslist for $1500:

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info. I did see comments in an earlier thread about the issues with a checked finish. Glad to hear it's less noticeable on the white guitar.
