Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Oh there are more than one !
All my "new" Rickenbacker's are SKB so I thought that was the way they all were these days.

Hi there
I have a '99 330/12 where one of the hinges is loose. I can't figure out how the hinges are mounted, there are no obvious screws anywhere.
Does anybody know anything about this ?

Hi everybody who replied
The problem was never replacing Hi gains, it was that the 12K toasters surprisingly is a little lower (not output but height) than the 7.4 K which made them sound lower (in output) than the 7.4 Ks. I wanted to raise them more than the grommets could handle and therefore ...

Thanks for the replies.
The guitar came with hi gains and therefore foam rings. The pickups I have on now is the 12K toasters and they seem to be a little lower than the current vintage style 7Ks.
The problem with the grommets is not with the ones that sits on the middle screws (height adjustment ...

The guitar came with hi-gains and I replaced them with a set of toasters-
The guitar is from 2000, week 45.

Hi there
I have two Rics both with toasters. For some reason the ones on my 360 seem a little lower than my 330.
It may have something to do with the ones on the 360 are the 12K and the other ones are the newer reissues.
I have already tried it out and it does improve the sound significantly but ...

I have a 330/12 and a 360/6. My son has a 620 which he by the way mainly bought because he loved blue colour that they make it with......It has to be noted in his defense that he also has a Tele and a Les Paul and the 620 is now his main guitar.
Having the 620 around I changed to the 7.4K toasters ...

But now you're gone again I can't PM you, it stays in my outbox. Is your inbox maybe full. Still very much into getting your 12Ks

All the best

I have been trying to get in contact with Sergio Silva for a while without any luck. I was very close to buying a set of 12K toasters from him but then he strangely disappeared. Now I am starting to worry if he's alright.
I am one of those mentioned in an earlier thread who would be interested in ...

It certainly sounds like the trussrods need some tweaking. I have a 360/6, a 330/12 and a 620/6 and all of them have incredible action. I have many guitars, it's not all Rics, and usually Rics are very easy to set up because of the double trussrods.
Was your luthier a real luthier or just someone ...

It's for a 360 guitar not a bass .-)

I will check it out. It's just that the pickups are very expensive already so to buy a new set and instantly send them to be modified seem a little extravagant although I just may do it anyway

Thanks for the replies so far
Adding bass on the amp doesn't help in this kind of situation. The sound is too airy and the single strings lack a bit of definition, perfect for 12 string, but not enough beef I find. Another issue is also that running it through analogue gear like a Space Echo or a ...

Hi
I have a 360 which was born with higains but I recently switched to the new(ish) 7.4K toasters. While I like the sound a lot I do miss the low end from the higains. I suppose that the older 12K toasters would probably be the ultimate solution. Does anybody know if these are ever for sale ...

Hi this particular post is not really a question, more a statement or testdrive of something I have tried out recently and something I had a little trouble googling so In would just like to put my thoughts on this for others to read. Of course these are just my thoughts and should not be seen as ...
