Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

So Rob, after three days, what's the verdict? Have you been talked out of selling your Rick yet? Inquiring minds....and all that.

okay, I expected most everyone here to tell me to keep the RIC, but I didn't expect half of the bike forum people to tell me that as well. Every time I think ...

Yes! But you have to tune the spokes JUST right!

okay, I expected most everyone here to tell me to keep the RIC, but I didn't expect half of the bike forum people to tell me that as well. Every time I think about my RIC when it's in the case, I consider selling it, but as soon as I take it out - it looks at me with that one big cat-eye, and I can ...

Rob, tell us more about your 360-12. From your avatar, it's obviously a MG. What year? What would you be looking to get for it? How much is the new bike you want? If you want some good advice, let's be specific.

BTW, what are you doing -- biking in Michigan this time of year? :wink:

Consider ...

The title says it all! I need to step up from my Trek Navigator 2.0 comfort bike, to a faster Trek 7.5 FX hybrid bike, but I have no money. I have two great acoustic guitars (a Guild DV-52, and a Yairi DY-80-12), a Stratocaster Ultra, as well as a Jazz bass that I play at Church. I don't record with ...

I have a music site on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Robert-Ja ... 9551801908

I look enough like a cartoon without adding any effects to it!

Wider necks on the 12-strings! It took this long for someone to post this change?

A bit of a mixed review, and bizarrely the front cover is photo re-touched to lose some grain pattern from the top horn.

I don't think that the photo is retouched to reduce the wood grain, but rather either the camera, or the printing press allowed the red to "block-up", and dominate the area in ...

The 330-12 shots were done with Ektachrome 64T(E6 transparency, Tungsten balanced), the 620-12 shot were done with Kodacolor VPL (C41 negative - tungsten balanced), and the 360-12 shots done with a Canon EOS 20D digital. I shot the 330-12 before VPL became available in the 35mm format, since I don't ...

Thanks for the compliments!

Is the fade on that fireglo really as abrupt as it seems? There appears to be no transition at all

Here's another shot, I think the lighting, and slide film I used on that, contributed to the harsh appearance of the transition. I started using negative film after the ...

Here's some photos of RICs I have owned over the years:

I had a 620-12 in one of the modern (SKB) RIC cases, and it did seem more protective than a tolex (vintage) case, my one compliant was that you had to be extremely careful when putting the guitar in the case. The metal valence is a small fraction of an inch away from the body recess, and I nicked ...

I'll agree on the MXR Micro Amp as well, I use it near the end of my chain for clean boost. I tried the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster first, but returned it because the switch popped every time (I've read reviews that mention the same thing).

I don't know about all of the brands that have been mentioned in this thread, but not all products labeled as "Tung Oil", are pure oil. Many "Tung Oil" products (specifically Homer Formby, and Minwax) are actually "wiping varnishes". They do contain some tung, or other oil, but the principle ...
