Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

HUGE thumbs up for the buried treasure show on XM. If you're on this forum you will love it!

+1 for Heritage, great coverage, reasonable rates, and in the event of a loss pay up without a lot of hassle. Insuring musical instruments is what they do.

Both worth reading and owning. Anybody working on updated versions in addition to the bass book? From the number of posts seems like there is definitely a market for it!

Toasters were available as a factory upgrade but were not the standard pickups. I like them both but prefer the high gains in mine. I'd keep the monogrammed guard, you're right easy to swap out once you have two guards.

That looks great! Thanks for sharing the excellent photos!! Did they do the monogram too? Did you add the toasters or were they stock? Great ...another possible upgrade.

I have the modern raised lettering on my trc. I guess I'll have to decide if I want the vintage style or the modern trc. Of course finding either one won't be easy.

Thanks for the link John! That settles it, I'm going for the gold! Now where to find a gold TRC

Good point Peter, hadn't thought of that. Does anyone have a photos of another monty (or fireglo) with gold guards? I'd probably get the oven knobs too...

Hi everyone. Here is my current Rickenbacker pride and joy. As you can see I changed the tailpiece for a more vintage vibe. Now I'm considering adding gold pickguards and truss rod. What do you think? Am I nuts? Any advice would be appreciated.

Check out the menatone king of the britains pedal, best marshall in a box I've heard, hand wired too.

Just wanted to say hi. I'm really enjoying all the info and look to forward to more great rickenbacker converstion in the future.All the best!
