Re: Is it happening? A new 4005?!
How about a third pickup in the middle position?

Re: Vintage Fender amp and grounding? Need help!
First, my '79 Vibrolux I used to own already had the 3-prong cord, as the factory converted from 2-prong to 3-prong UL standard in the late '70's. So on every other amplifier I had over time that only had 2-prong outlets I had my tech convert them to 3-prong. the advantage is that after adding the g...

Re: Strings for 360 12 String?
I have not read all three pages. Two pointers: 1) Purchase a set that has a wound 3rd unison G string so it will intonate properly with the octave plain G string. That excludes D'A and some others. 2) The low E string will have issues unless the octave E string is a large diameter compared to the un...

Re: Advice on best models + modification question
See above. Since the Rickenbacker factory forum is down, I will describe my mod using a push-pull on the 5th knob: 1) push-pull down: Selector switch: up - neck pickup middle - neck and bridge pickup with inline capacitor down - bridge pickup with capacitor 2) push-pull up: Selector switch: up - mid...

Re: Search & Seizure - Cold of November - 1994
As with my other thread, I had to bump, because of all the Beatles influences. On this song, I wanted a song that was like California Dreamin', but harder. Well, it's November, and we had record cold last week. Thanks for the bump.

Re: Search & Seizure - I Feel Fine - 1994
OK, with the release of the "last" Beatles song, Now and Then, I had to bump this thread. More details: compression on the bass, pillow and close-mik-ing the drums, the aforementioned double tracking of guitars, fx on the vocals, etc., all the studio tricks pioneered by the Beatles. Yes, o...

Re: Pickups on 4002 and 3001 Models
Yes, Zombie thread. But I must correct inaccuracies stated above about the 4002. I have a 4002. The coils are end-to-end or split coil humbuckers. The neck pickup measures between 8 and 8.5 kohms. It is not interleaved as is the bridge pickup. The bridge pickup has the interleaved windings of @ 750 ...

Re: Pre-1984 truss rod question
Hey. Kenny. What are the neck's particular persnicketies? I’m just trying to get the neck dead flat, and it’s not. Plays well, just want it, well, just right. ‘60s 12-string, so I’m trying to go gentle. this opinion comes from owning three 1981 instruments with the old-style hairpin truss rods and ...

Maybe Rick Neilsen of Cheap Trick would be interested in it to go with one of his checkerboard Hamers!

Re: If I Could Change One Thing About My Rickenbacker ...
Oh - I had forgotten: on my 360-12, with a 24-fret neck, at that time RIC was still using the upper scratch plate with the 21-fret pickup placing, so it bumped against the pickup instead of outlining the frame of the pickup as it does on the bridge pickup. So I took my dremel and recontoured the up...

Re: Jon Camp - cap or no cap?
To elaborate on the above: 1) The value of the cap is the same for all Rickenbacker guitars and 4001/3 basses that have the inline cap: .0047 microfarads. On my 4002, as set forth in the factory wiring diagram, the inline cap is a .01 on each pickup. This caused some comb filtering problems that pr...
