Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Yep, In years past, John Hall stated several times on this forum that the TI strings were about as close to the old Rickenbacker (Maxima) flat-wound strings as you could find, which is one reason that so many of us started using them in the first place. They tend to feel very different from Pyramid...

I can't access that thread unfortunately - it says that I am not authorized? Forgot about that new "feature!" Here's some words from the thread, from Paul W: I've seen the bakelite bridge on other slab-bodied Ricks, but they were combo 400 and 900 models of earlier vintage. This one looks...

Could be Bakelite. There's a thread about late-50s 420s/Combo models with just such a bridge: http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=393698&p=603730 I can't access that thread unfortunately - it says that I am not authorized? I also notice that the nut is made from the same-...

hmm...

Yeah, and the locating pins are cast-in to the part it; giving the look of a production part and not a one-off.

I have a 1960 Combo 1000, below are photos of the bridge - tailpiece http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/mrkerb/pedals/bridge.jpg http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/mrkerb/pedals/tailpiece.jpg The saddle is a single piece of black plastic, probably Delrin. It has two locating pins on the ...

You could always contact Elderly and see if they'd be willing to act as an intermediary, to contact the person they sold it to, for potential re-sale. But that would probably end up getting expensive. True enough though you will never know unless you ask! There is also a 50/50 chance that it sold t...

Three positions? Mine has two.

I have been enjoying my first Ric and am curious about the toggle switch on my single pickup 1000 (1960 model). It provides a volume cut and a change in tone though this can be tempered by the position of the guitar's tone control. The lower gain output is kind of 'Stratty' and the higher gain posit...

More cleaning revealed a 'v' so it reads VO and below: 189 I found numbers stamped on the tailpiece. The top number is "0" below looks like 189 Does this mean that it is a 1960? http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/mrkerb/pedals/P4270004.jpg http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/mrk...
