Re: Rick-o-sound output brighter than standard?

Yeah, it's really meant for running to 2 different amps. I use it, with each pickup going to its own SansAmp RPM. I can then adjust those to get the sound I want for each before combining the signals in a mixer.

Re: Rick-o-sound output brighter than standard?

Your guess is totally correct. The Ric-O-Sound output separates the 2 pickups and so has only the loading of the tone & volume controls from a single pickup instead of 2. There's also some loading due to having 2 pickups there as well. The idea of combining them external to the guitar will only ...

Re: Variac or Step up transformer?

I can't comment on that particular unit, but I can probably tell you WAY more about Variacs than you ever wanted to know. A variac is a fairly simple device, it's just an "auto-transformer" with a variable tab. An auto-transformer only has one coil instead of separate input and output coil...

Re: NAMM 2024 what's new w RIC?

Rickenbacker didn't go, and apparently neither did a lot of the other big players such as Fender & Gibson. Word is it's just not necessary anymore...

You don't like the Norstransd pickups?
The bridge pickup is a Nordstrand, it's OK, but the Bartolini in the neck seems a bit muddy. It would be nice to see how the new RIC 5-string pickups sound...

Re: 4004cii/5

There could be a solution for my Mapleglo. JH gave me a new 4003S/5 pickup cover to see if it will adequately cover the 5 strings. I think it will work well. I need to find a guitar repairman brave enough to make the new pickup routes. I'd do it myself, I've routed several bodies, but from what I'v...

Re: 4004cii/5

There are only 6 listed in the Register, all made in 2004, mine included. I'm not sure if any were made in other years. As for only a handful being made, I have it on good authority that there were only 13 made. Maybe it was just destined to be an unlucky model...
