I have a new amp in my playing room. Well, in fact it's not new, that 1970 Orange Matamp head was my first tube amp, back in 1980. I had lending it to my best friend's nephew 25 years ago, and now, i have it back at my home, after have it serviced and with a brand new Orange cab. :) http://i488.phot...

Draguignan, South of France.
30km from Saint Tropez.
You know the Pink Floyd's song on Meddle ?
Edit : and it's my 83th post, exactly the number for the "Var" department number in France.
Amazing!

They look the same as those on the new 330F(f-hole) available in England :

Same 330 since 1992, and 620/12 since 1995.
I still regret selling my 1985 320 to get my 330...

After several looks at that opening shot of the guitar neck, I would say the Ric is definitely a Fireglo 360/12, strung traditionally. That clip has been my introduction to The La's, so can someone please recommend a CD of theirs with plenty of 12-string on it? They only made one LP so you have no ...

My Rickenbackers in my old 72 Princeton Reverb sound very nice. That's my main amp since i've bought it 15 years ago.
It's ok for home use, as well as for gigs (miked or not) or rehearsals.
My 1990 Vox AC30 collects dust since.

So, what basis would you propose? Stock. Must be 100% stock to be a Rickenbacker. As soon as a player even change strings over to a non-factory brand, well, they are no longer playing a real Rickenbacker. If i understand you well this would not be a real Rickenbacker ? http://blog.sharemyguitar.com...

That way i think i understand better. Thanks for your translation. :lol: Yes the key worked smoothly before and it 's an enclosed sealed Schaller, the same as on my 330 . The problem is rather recent. I'll try to manage it next time i'll change strings, which could not be exactly tomorrow. :wink: Bu...

I've also noticed that a tuning peg is becoming very very hard to turn. It's a Schaller mini, the 1st E. Is there something i can do or will i have to change it ? Schallers should have a tension screw at the end of the button; try loosening it a bit and see if that helps. Thanks Jeffrey. I've done ...

The whole thing takes me about 15 minutes. Changed strings on my 620/12 last month. It almost took me 2 hours ! It's probably why i only change them once in a year. :oops: I put Ricky Sounds strings 10/42. "Compressed Round Wound strings from the same factory which produced the originals we ha...

My second Rickenbacker was a 1990 330 FG which i bought in 1992 and that is still my main guitar today. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250/davidwatts_photo/th_Ricken330-5.jpg My third Ric was a 1992 620/12 JG acquired in 1995 that i still own today too. http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr250...
