Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

ahh cool. thanks for the quick responses guys. Hmmm kent sounds like a sweet option, still a bit hard to get to for a 20 year old in london without a car =p

ahhh i see. thats makes sense as to be honest i dont know 'how bad' the frets really are! i hope its only enough for a crowning or leveling, but i guess i might need to go the whole way like you are. Thanks for the advice =p

hey guys, since acquiring my second rick (04 4003) i have not really been able to get the action as great as i would like without massive fret buzz, the problem seems to be massive grooves warn in some of the frets around the 5th. Im not sure if it just needs a fret dress, total refret or fret ...

wow theres some lovely basses here, more to come i hope. I must admit i have a love hate relationship with BT. My 4003 MB BT is my first and only rick, and was bought because of availability rather than trim option. Sometimes i just wish i had a more retro looking rick, like JG or FG with white ...

Hey guys, although my family are Scottish i'm Lincolnshire born and bread. I spend most of my free time on here, but seem to be more of a lurker than a poster. I just love reading what everyone has to say more than saying much.
oh here's my baby too

about 2 years ago, making me 17, i realy started lusting heavily over ricks,
every min of the day i was thinking about wanting one, thinking how amazing it would be to own one of thoes monumental instruments like all my heros
macca, foxton, waters, squire.
So having at the time a bassic job i ...

at last, someone has brought up what i was considering for a while, im a big fan but it seems in england there are a lot of haters, hence why i did not bring them up.
seen them 6 times now, great band
