Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Man, that is so sad! I think it might be repairable, but since the insurance company approved replacement, you might as well get another 330. I have a 2008 330-6 FG and I really like it alot. The one other finish I really like is the Autumn Glo. I think they are kind of rare, but if you could find o...

And as for 6 string, what about something from the Peter Banks period of Yes? Something like Looking Around, great guitar and bass. "Quintessential" though?[/quote] Bright, clear, ringing tone? I'd say yes.[/quote] I'm sure it is, but you're talking about "selling" Rickenbacker ...

Smithereens - "Behind The Wall Of Sleep."

Jeff just turned me on to a great band, "Tame Impala." I would happily play any of their songs. Dunno about the other guys in the band, though. Radio in Cleveland sucks, plain and simple. You would never hear any good new music on the radio in Cleveland. Even the college stations play most...

Good songs are timeless and don't belong to any one era or generation. I'll play anything that moves me. This is it: play what you love; good music (music that inspires you and moves you) is indeed timeless; anything else is just pretense. Thanks, Kira! :D The problem with that is there are very fe...

The now very strict and enforced drinking & driving laws keep many folks from partying late in the US and the bars are feeling this as well as the effects of the economy. Your band has a good playlist but I can see it appeals to older crowd. Here the 45-60 Somethings typically come to eat, drin...

Yes.Friday and Saturday nights. If anyone would care to check out our website, www.thekarmakings.com and check the videos and tell us what we're doing wrong, we'd sure appreciate it.

Let me emphasize; no one has asked us to pay to play. It's just that we have had what we thought were successful gigs, where there were plenty of customers and they liked us, and the managers said they liked us, but when we asked for more bookings they gave us the "We'll see." I just wonde...

My band is trying to figure out why we are having difficulty getting return club dates, when other bands that are not as good as us keep getting back into these same clubs. We have lots of festival and out door gigs in the Summer but no club gigs in the Winter. The club managers all say they like us...

We are having an argument in my band. We are all over 50 and we play mostly Classic Rock, but some band members want to play new music. I think that most people who come to see us are our age and don't want to hear the new music, and people in their 20's don't want to hear a bunch of old guys playin...

Whetton kind of slurs his words a bit; "s" comes out like "sh." Lake doesn't do that. That's about the only way I can tell them apart by listening.

Congrats, Chris, and thanks for all the great music!

Well, I ended up setting the Manual mode on the Vox amp as a clean channel and I will use that when I use the effects on the ME-6. I set the amp up for my easy over distortion and saved that in Channel 1 and set Channel 2 up for tremelo that I use on one song. When I get the foot switch for the amp,...

I just bought a Boss ME-6 multi-effect pedal. I am using it with a 330-6 and a Vox AD50VT amp. Most of the effects on the Boss sound great and don't muck up the sound, but the over - easy distortion has some kind of nasty equalization going on that I can't take out with the onboard EQ controls. HAs ...

Also when you get the generator, order a 1uF /100V capacitor: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/31-8735&t=1 You are going to install this in series with the test cables from the generator and use that to inject the signal into the circuit. It will block any DC voltages from the amp from dama...
