Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi all,

Well, I got a response from Fishman regarding Rickenbacker-specific piezo bridges...

Good morning:

Thanks for your inquiry and your good review. At this point in time we do not manufacture a Rickenbacker-specific Powerbridge, and unfortunately I do not see that being manufactured ...

Thanks for the feedback!

I could imagine how difficult it would be for a 12 string piezo setup. Luckily, I'm looking for a 6 string arrangement. ;-) I'd actually like to have the 330 be my main guitar in the future.

Is there something possibly on the horizon for a 6 saddle piezo bridge, Mr ...

Hi,

I do remember the 380L. In fact, a friend of mine sold his a month ago, only to learn that they discontinued it. He was upset, to say the least. But I'm definitely in the market for a 330 and the 380 isn't really what I'm looking for.

Anyhow, I contacted Fishman to see if there was any ...

Hi all,

I was just wondering, does Rickenbacker offer a piezo bridge option, such as the Fishman PowerBridge, on their electrics. I have both a Strat and a Casino with the PowerBridge and they sound fantastic. I was thinking of getting a 330 in the near future and, if it had a piezo, it would be ...

Hey all,

I have an AC30CC2 and I LOVE IT! It has the right combination of "bells and whistles" to make it a great gigging amp. Great tone, plenty of headroom and what a look! The only thing I don't like about it is the reverb. IMHO, it sucks, but that's just me. I'm used to my 68 Fender Pro ...

Hi all,

Hal, thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I REALLY got lucky when I found it on ebay. One of those "fluke" things. I put a bid on it but it didn't make the reserve. I contacted the guy, offered him a fair price and that was it. It was in immaculate condition when I got it.

Tony, I have a ...

Hey all,

Bill, I don't really have the proper measuring tools to give you an accurate figure. Also, I would think that each guitar may have a different measurement (string gauge, type, etc.). Why not drop give MA an email? He may be better able to answer that question.

Steve, I couldn't ...

Hey all!

I have some Before and After photos of Mark's work, but the board won't permit an image bigger than 36KB. Can I use an HTML "IMG SRC=" tag so I can show the pictures from my webspace??

Thanks,
AG

Hi all,

Thank you all for the warm welcome! J.C. I do have before/after pix that Mark was kind enough to supply. I will ask him if it's cool, then I'll post 'em up! Steve, I haven't taken it out on a gig yet, so I can't really say one way or another. But, from my few test runs, I can't really ...

Hey all,

I'm new around here but I just had to post up when I got my guitar back from Mark Arnquist.

A little history:

When I bought my v64 off ebay in 2002, it was in stunning condition. I'm not very particular about the exactitudes of the Beatles' gear, but I knew this guitar was pretty ...
