Anyone know which strings he actually used? More specific than long shiny ones.

I hope that was meant as a joke. I know it cracked ME up!

Which part is cracking you up? Either way I'm a joke...

I will try out those TI flats. Thanks!

Hey Rudi, we haven't heard from you in a long time, welcome back! I agree with Steve about the Thomastik Infield flats. Thanks Joey! Was without a Rickenbacker for a while and haven't used the one I bought yet. The TI flats are pretty low tension right? Which gauge is there to choose from? What abo...

Din arvtager kjører jo også Rickenbacker.

En 73 her også gitt!

This subject have probably been discussed on numerous occasions earlier but my name is Rudi, almost the same as rude, so I start a brand new thread. ;) I have a '73 Rickenbacker 4001 with toaster that I bought because I love (the looks) the sound Paul McCartney got out of that bass with the Beatles....

Thanks Lars! Link?

Found it in Sweden @ vendolin.se.

Wait for pics @ you know where!

What about the rest?

I have just bought a '73 4001, but the mute assembly is missing. Where can I find one of those?

Er bare å si ifra hvis du tenker på å kvitte deg meg '69 P eller '51 RI P! ;) Har forøvrig en '63 P og en '75 Rick s...

I have '75 4001, so Pyramid Golds are out of the picture. That's a shame, cause those strings sounded nice!

Yes, I prefer a more traditional flatwound sound.

How is the tension compared to other strings you have played on?

Is that the brand?

Which? I have TIs, but the tension is too low. But I am afraid to have string that is too tight because of the Rickenbacker's neck.

I like the TIs sound though, but not the tension.

Anyone have any suggestions?
