FWIW: oddly enough, I may be one of those here with a lot of experience with variacs ... except not in the context of music. In chemistry, they are used to control motors (e.g. stirrers) or heating mantles, as shown in this picture: P3091467A.jpg In this application, the variac was controlling the ...

I can't comment on that particular unit, but I can probably tell you WAY more about Variacs than you ever wanted to know . A variac is a fairly simple device, it's just an "auto-transformer" with a variable tab. An auto-transformer only has one coil instead of separate input and output co...

I had a SC-40 in the early '80s. Shoulda kept it.

Hello there, I want to know that is there any factory made fretless 4080 or other Fretless bass from Rickenbacker ? How they sounded ? I want to listen too much. Thank you, Mustafa Umut Sarac Istanbul This is the '04 4003FL I used to have (another forum member has the bass these days). I have the b...

I have a burgundyglo 4001 with Bartolini pickups. I like it a lot. Always have, since I got it. When changing strings today, I opened it up. Looks to be the original wiring harness, except that I bypassed the bass blocker cap. I measured the potentiometers. Both volume pots are 227K, bass tone is 5...

The end of an era?

OOP could also possible stand for Off Our Planet.

I have occasionally.

Very cool to hear a more "classic" Squire kind of tone out of Paul.

How about "Day Tripper" with Squire.

The most aggressive sounding pickups (in a good way) on any Rick bass I've owned were HB-2s on my old 2030GF.

It still feels like it was just yesterday (sometime in 2006) when I bought my U5. And it was half that price, new.

That’s also a great story! But the main thing I take from it Jeff is that you saw Genesis in 1973…I’m not prone to jealousy but in this case I’ll make an exception! :lol: Pure chance, it was. :mrgreen: They were touring the Foxtrot album (something I learned after going to the record store to seek ...

Story of my I made that “should have bought it” mistake with a 60s MG4005 at A1 Manchester going for £699. It was identical to The Ox Tommy bass. I was buying a 12string acoustic that day. When I got home I decided I should take the acoustic back and buy the 4005..of course it had gone. Guess who b...

...Also theres footage of Mike Rutherfords RM showing some customisation on the pickup outputs with a jack on the pickguard..maybe he had another jack added to the body instead. When I bought my 4005WB in 1973 it already had a jack installed in place of the fifth knob; it's a ROS jack. 4005WB Studi...
