Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks everyone, my 3000 is already registered in Vermont it's serial number PD 2994. I brought it from music store live the other year. I also have a 3001 serial number RJ 5924 that I would like to add.
I am based in the UK

Hi there, could anyone please tell me how to register my Ricky 3000 onto the Rickenbacker Register page please?
Thanks, Kev

What a great post, I think everyone has learnt something from this one! The tailpiece is going to stop on, it' has no tail lift at all, the screws are longer so that explains that one, and the new tailpiece has now gone back. Anyway my next question is.......only joking

Sorry if the above sounded a little off, it was not meant that way at all! Just really trying to get to the bottom of this issue as someone else out there may have the same problem and it would be nice to put this one to rest. It sounds like there is a question as to if it came out the factory like ...

I beg your pardon!
Who is getting skittish or worrying about the resale value, the bass or basses are not for sale and will not be at any time in the near or distant future! for your information I had ordered the tailpiece before I received Mr Halls comment and the functionality aspect is that the ...

Hi Dave
Thats a strange one, now as I am getting really confused over this issue :?

How long have you had your 3001 and what is the manufacture date? It seems a real coincidence that we both have one (even the same colour) with the drillings, do you think there was a rouge driller at the factory ...

I am sure it will do its has to be the best bass I have owned in nearly 38 years of playing bass and I have had everything out there you can think of, 4001, 4003, 4001C64, 4001V63, 4004Cii, P Bass, J Bass, Fender Custom Shop, Aria, Wal and still nothing comes close to the 3001. I just don't know how ...

Hi John I have ordered a new tailpiece from Rosetti today here in the UK to get it back how it should be, must say though it is a great bass and I would not be without it as it's my main gigging bass, always gets a comment from someone...... keep up the good work over there

Thank you for your help on this one John that now puts my mind at ease, do you think that it would cause any any tone issues though because of this or will there be no difference. Be nice to see your thought on this one...
Kindest regards, Kev

Hi John, I heard the same thing that some came out of the factory like that, I called Rickenbacker direct yesterday and they said that this never happened and I should consider a new tailpiece. Part of the tone seems to come from the fact that the saddle assembly sits in the tailpiece (metal to ...

They are a great bass, very underated. I have never heard a bad report about them, I play mine though a Mesa Big Block 750 and a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 with a 2x10 on top of that and its great.
I had loads of issues with the action on it the E sat lower than the G string (even put a small shim under ...

Hi there, I have a 1978 3001 and wondered if anyone else had had a problem with a 4000/3000 bridge/tailpiece assembly where the two bridge adjustment screws go straight through the tailpiece and into the wood? I have heard that some basses did actually come out of the factory like this..... also ...
