Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I like the bright, gritty Ric clank so roundwounds for me on my Rics (I do use flats on other basses - can definitely appreciate that sound - but if it's Rickenbacker then it's rounds for me). I used to use DR Lo-Riders on my '76 4001 but was getting some tail-lift, so switched to Hi-Beams which ar...

Sign me up too! Not sure what I'm signing up for, but would love a replacement bridge - been using my Jetglo S/8 more in the past couple of years than I expected...

I hate to bump this one back up but felt I should respond. I feel no ill-will towards Jason - I just wanted any kind of response and he gave it to me - in more ways than one! :shock: :lol: I definitely learned a lot through this experience - interesting to watch how the different forums (manufacture...

Now I remember why I stopped posting here! Byebye!!!

This is the only time I've gotten to Jam on my '75 4080 Azure-Glo Double-Neck! My friend Dean McMaster was blown away by my '75 4080, '72 Fire-Glo 4001 and my '06 Jet-Glo 4003! But, I was totally floored by his Hell Fire Rock he played on his Chapman Stick! Our great friend Jim Atchenson thundered ...

Ah,very nice,everyone,looks like a splendid time was had! I've wanted try one of those Acme B cabs out for a while,they're supposed to be da bomb... Yeah, I was really impressed with the amp/cab - I think it was a GK head? Nice and deep sounding with plenty of volume (remember that horrible amp we ...

I haven't been around here in a long time, but this picture came out of the recent BARC but I thought it would fit here! http://imageshack.us/a/img694/241/4003s4001fb.jpg My 1976 4001 Autumnglo on the left, Lefty4001's 1993 4003S LH on the right. It's like they're from parallel universes - "the...

One picture that doesn't exist, because I realized it too late, would have been a line-up of the 4000 series basses. We had the full 2x2 matrix of headstock/wing combinations: '74 4001LH (lefty wings, "righty" headstock), Harry's '75 4001 Walnutglo (Rwings, Rhead), '93 4003S-LH (Lwings, L...

May 18 actually works for me! The only other possibilities in May would be Sunday 5/5 or Sunday 5/12. I kind of like the Saturday date.

This time I'll bring some cymbals and maybe even a real live drummer! Might need to try and have my 8-string shipped over here too...

GK amps are solid state, so they don't need to be warmed up. TC Electronics makes great stuff, but "Designed in Denmark and Made In China" doesn't cut it for me. The trade imbalance between our two countries is high enough, we need the jobs here. By "warmed up" I was talking abo...

+1 for the new GK combos - I have the MB-112 II and love it! It is so light and more than loud enough for my (new) band which consists of drums guitar and bass. Have never turned it up past 10:00 during rehearsal. The only thing I kind of don't like is the midrange - it seems to me to have a bit of ...

Woody, it was great to see you - I wish I had had more time to hang out and talk with people! I actually took one more worthwhile picture of a bass that hasn't appeared yet in this thread: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8886/blackstaredit.jpg Gary's Blackstar 5-string. I got to play it a bit - m...

I am really enjoying the photos, everyone. I wish I could have been there. Ah well, SCARF is coming up. JimK When is it? All I've heard is probably August. So I'm planning my trip for sometime around August... I heard August too - hmm, I actually have something scheduled down there in the middle of...

...today we had the 5th annual Northern California Alembic Gathering - a lot of great instruments in one weekend! Who from Alembic shows up at that, and where is it held? Ron Wickersham, the father of the Alembic electronics, his daughter Mica and a couple of other family members have come to every...
