Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the pictures! The Laney amps look cool. Nice to see the Hags and Hofners too.

On another forum someone suggested plumber's Teflon tape. I suppose that's if there is still threading in the wood. The felt washers could be helpful as well.

Congrats on your Azureglo! What a nice color.

I had one of those. Really nice sounding amp. But It was sold on the path to an Ampeg SB12, a truly great and continually inspiring practice/rehearsal amp, as long as it doesn't need to be moved! Best of luck on your quest.

Just saw this; I hope you're enjoying your Cambridge Reverb. Thomas solid state? I still have mine, pretty minty. It sounds great! I learned about eqing mine when comparing it next to a drip face Princeton. I think the designer was really going for the UK Vox sound in that when the tone controls are...

New beginnings can be a fantastic thing though, and I wish you the best. Hope you can manage to have a Rickenbacker around; just h...

I can see it, now. Someone getting into a car for the first time to learn how to drive.

N@@ß: Hey, how do ya' boot this thing up?

My wife bought a new car. It's really like that!

Happy New Year to you all! Best wishes for health, success and artistic and musical expression. If you're gigging tonight, take care and get your yah-yahs out!
