My wife and I would love an invitation and would try to swing it if at all possible!

Thanks Warren...

I'll give those suggestions a try....

Yes, indeed, the dry guitar signal is not reaching the reverb tank, but I know the wire connections are good from the preamp reverb driver to the reverb tank because when one of the driver transistors is touched with the probe, it makes the loud spring noise. This is much louder than just the spring...

Thanks for the reply, Mr. Hall. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I neglected to mention that the footswitch on/off jack tested fine on both the reverb and tremelo. I know that the switch is on when I hear the springs vibrate through the speaker from the return circuit. Of course, it does...

Hey Folks, I recently picked up a fine sounding SS Rick Amp TR-25 on Craig's List.

Saw "Beyond The Lighted Stage" last Thursday night. Only one showing in Hurst, TX. My song and wife went too and it was very very good! Great insight into the personalities of the band members and the evolution of their music. I will get the DVD for sure, but seeing it on the big screen wa...

I am bringing my wife and son on Saturday. I'm sure all 3 of us will be foaming at the mouth.....

I'm in the DFW area, and we need a RIC dealer here!!!

Fuller's in Houston is my Mecca, but its a long way across this big state!

I caught these guys last night in Dallas at the House of Blues. Sexton always plays the 330 FG on "Living In A Dream".

Great show. Charlie Sexton played a different guitar on almost every song, but none more beautiful than the RIC !!!

Did John Kaye play his 381 on "The Pusher"?

Oops...sorry about that!

Guess I need to do a little more research!!!

I'm in!

I have a TR-75 as well as a TR-7.

There are still some things about the 75 that i still don't completely understand...I think a group would be helpful!

Also, I would love to get my hands on an intact amp badge for the TR75!

The semi-hollowbodies demonstrate more resonance while the solid bodies demonstrate slight increase in sustain.
