Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

hope it's indeed just a heavily worn rectangular sticker. i was just thinking whether it's possible that it's a round sticker, which may suggest that the guitar is from the 90s (as joey suggested)...thus possibly a v63 (rather than a c64) that is simply packaged with the c64 case candies and ...

so i just pulled the trigger today on a 325c64:

and i noticed that the sticker on the pickguard is not the rectangular 'Made in USA' sticker i'm used to seeing ...

this is kinda the opposite, but "beatcomber records" extracted the backing tracks (i.e. WITHOUT BASS) from beatles rock band, in FLAC format. not sure if you'll find them by googling. there is also a set of tracks without guitar. very very interesting stuff.

I went with a toaster in the neck of my 2004 4003 because the higain was indistinct on the E string from G# on down (RIC factory strings). It was an 11.6k higain. The 7.4k toaster added articulation and clarity in that range - I could then discern the different note tones. Tone was very similiar ...

if the camera focused on just the bass player and the audio just the bass line, i would've thought that the video was from an 80s band in the shoe-gazing scene

that's good to hear

hi,

i recently got a rickenbacker vintage style strap (with those skinny ends), and after struggling for a while, i managed to get the schaller strap locks onto them. but now that i look at it, it seems kinda forced :? it seems as though the strap locks were too big for the little holes on the ...

i guess rick owners are richer in general...

i play through my vox T25 combo amp

thanks!

ordered a 7.4k toaster from POTR

hi guys,

i'm wondering if anyone has replaced the stock hi gain neck PUP with a 12k toaster (e.g. from a V63) on a 4003 (from 2006 or later). if so, what's the tonal impact of such a mod?
