Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Mine too Collin, thanks

The Rose Morris that I had and started this thread with (March ‘64 1998) was eventually joined by the one that I wanted in this thread (January ‘64 1997). They look pretty good together, but only one was lucky enough to be selected for the new Rickenbacker book by Martin and Paul Kelly - ‘Rickenback...

Your hi gain pickups are wound much hotter than Weller's early seventies ones. They produce a much darker tone to begin with. It'll be quite difficult to get that sound by changing the pots only. Unwinding them to 7 or 8 kOhm should clear that up. Thanks for that Wim, I'll bear it in mind. Regards,...

Wow Mark. That’s amazing, never seen anybody ship a guitar without a cardboard box! :shock: Cheap bastards... that’s pretty sad. It was pretty shocking to see Collin, but I have had one other sent like that in the UK. Both times the guitars arrived in absolutely fine shape with hardly a mark on the...

If I get really bored one day I'm going to find one of those guitars that 4 or 5 people are trying to sell, and hit the BIN's on all of them at once just to see what happens! :lol: Well the BIN is also pay it now, so it would be a costly experiment Jason. As to what will happen...four of the seller...

Andreas does say it was repainted on his website,

Congrats!

I think that I maybe read the post wrongly Collin
...but still, a book that is ONLY about Rose Morris export models, oh yes

I thought (hoped) that you would be writing that book Collin.

Wow, are we all really going back to accepting facts over opinions again now? Sweet

That is sad news. Craig had a great appetite for the factory “one-offs” and caused a real buzz of excitement around their release. I bought one guitar from Craig when he patiently honoured my first dibs, despite the clamour for it. I liked that he did that. It turned out to be a cracker. Thank you C...

Congrats John. Seventies and early eighties 330s are definitely it for me. Johnny Marr’s is a 1983 btw. http://www.johnny-marr.com/guitarchestra-2/1983-black-rickenbacker-330 This pair are both 1983 with box Grovers 4D9F205C-385A-4B0D-BEC9-7606B4E73162.jpeg 377FD1CD-8045-4D49-A94B-63EE6E0F82F0.jpeg

Seventies 21 fret 330s are lovely things. This FG is 1975.

You could always check the soldering to see if they are additions.

Jake posted that it was a November 1986 and that Tom put the gold plastic on it. Jake's and mine are from the same (first) batch of December 1986. Mine was owned by Tony Hicks for all of a year...

Thanks Rudy.

Colour hues vary over the years, but I really like the dark ones. For comparison, here's Autumglo, Walnut and Fireglo (all 1980).
