Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

My first RIckenbacker was a 330-12 in fireglo. I was looking for the unique Rick 12-string sound. My second Rick was a 330 six-stringer, also in fireglo. In part it was an impulse purchase when I was in a local guitar shop, but I have always loved the music of the Jam and the Who, so I did not ...

How can I get in touch with Larry Davis? Is he a member of this forum? Or does anyone have an address or phone number for him? Thanks.

I have three Rickenbackers. Two I have been able to set up just fine on my own to where they play just to my liking. I am not able to get the neck adjusted just right on the third one, though, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good guitar tech familiar with Rickenbackers who could get ...

Mark, added. Congrats on the new bass. Your 2004 has the same measurements as my Nov. '04. Not slim but very comfortable and it stays put with the season changes and stays in tune. Actually, that is it in my avatar picture.
John,
Sorry I left out the month/week. She was made in the 21st week of ...

If I drive the Dodge Caravan, it just fits straight across the back area, in front of my amp and the wheelie cart for the amp and my bag of junque. If I drive the Mazda Protege, I can fit a Ric guitar, but not the bass, in the trunk unless I fold down the back seat and extend the trunk. The amp has ...

Congratulations on the new bass, Mark!
Thanks, Scott. I used the bass last night at practice for the first time and was very pleased. Tonight I adjusted the truss rods, the bridge height, raised and lowered the appropriate sides of the pickups, and adjusted the saddles, and now she's just perfect ...

Yes, to me it feels and sounds great. It's very close to the measurements ...

I just bought a 2004 4003 with these neck measurements:
1st 11.5
3rd 12.0
12th 13.6

Yes, Chris at POTR did indeed quote me a price on one. It turns out, though, that I stumbled upon a 2004 4003 that came with its case (and looks unused) so I passed on the 2000 4003, for which I would have had to buy a case.

I am thinking about buying a 2000 4003 that lacks a case. So far on the internet I have been able to find only the vintage silver cases for sale. I see the Ric 330 molded case for guitars sold separately, but no 4003 molded case. Has anyone seen the molded bass case for sale or do I need to shell ...

I keep my instruments upstairs where I have two dehumidifiers (one at each end of the house) that I run in the summer and a single humidifier that I run in the winter (closer to where the guitars are). I aim for 35% relative humidity (it gets pretty humid in East Tennessee in the summers, too). I ...

. . . but the policy is originated with Travelers, and I have had homeowner claims with them, and they treated me VERY well. I think the minimum insurance premium is around $225 per year. And this cover your gear at GIGS!!!!
I have a personal articles rider with our Travelers homeowners policy to ...

standard is usually 45-105, but ricks do have a different standard gauge,though i am not sure what it is....i have not used rick strings since they came in the red boxes..... :| .
The rick bass string sets are now 45, 55, 75, 105, with a 115 added for the 5-string set. (On my non-rick basses I am ...

Thanks. I was just browsing around and was happy to come across something I could actually contribute to.
