Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Today is the day I’m diving in. Wish me luck.

Fair assessment. For what it’s worth, I’m not totally familiar with the traditional control layout etc., I just picked one up, strummed a chord or two and said “that’s not bad,” and put it back. You could probably still get the tone of the “Night Of Fear” intro pretty close on a recent model. The Ri...

The b&w pic is Ace Kefford of The Move! Roy Wood also used a Fender XII, maybe the same instrument seen here.

Squier has reissued the XII and in my limited taste tests is better than any ‘60s example, but still pales compared to a properly set up Rick 12er.

Still nothing.

What’s this all about?

And, how does this apply with Ricks? Or, does it? I can’t imagine it would be applicable to pre-1984 rods, but what about after that?

I know at least a few of you lunatics have the cab mentioned above.

Here’s my question: I need a template for where one would drill fresh mounting holes for the stand for one of these.

If someone’s got a cab with no stand, that’d be perfect. Just need to know where the holes go.

It can happen! A few of us here have put out the word and retrieved our favorite Ricks from out in the wild. Best of luck.

Also, good man, with your Ibanez UE multi-effects box. I have a couple of those, great units.

Are the rods fuly tightened now, or is there still a lot of threads protruding from the nuts? Does it have any s-curve to the fingerboard? Something I learned on this very site is that removing the strings and totally slacking off the truss rods, then leaving the guitar for a few days for the wood ...

this opinion comes from owning three 1981 instruments with the old-style hairpin truss rods and playing them on stage for decades: 4002WG bass, 320JG guitar, and 360-12OS FG ckbd guitar. Sometimes you can only do so much. The wood can shrink, give a little at the stress points, and all other sort o...

Kenny.

What are the neck's particular persnicketies?

I’m just trying to get the neck dead flat, and it’s not. Plays well, just want it, well, just right.

‘60s 12-string, so I’m trying to go gentle.
