Wow. Thanks, David!

It's very gratifying (as I know I've said before) to see my tips and techniques bringing happiness and satisfaction to my fellow Rick players.

You can bet that I'll always be ready to lend a (verbal) hand with Rick questions and answers, as far as my knowledge extends.

I second all the thoughts expressed here. And thanks to Peter who made it all happen.

Thank you very much for the inclusion in this eclectic group! I do what I can, but I'm still learning a lot myself.

Yes I'd like to second Sheena's comments re many thanks to Peter, for making this forum such a great place to meet people, talk about Rickenbackers, get advice on them and be told things about them.

And to all the experts out there, (you know who are - I don't want to leave anyone out), who regularly chime in to help out with, "how to do's" and "what not to do" thanks also from me for probably answering the same question for the 450th time. Rather than just tell you this issue has been presented before and to search for it yourself - or worse still not to get a reply at all, the patience shown here amazes me!! This personal approach and the happy comments from others who get involved in your post is what makes this Forum a very happy place to visit Image

Having seen Paul at work - both in the workshop and on the forum, I am amazed at his thoroughness and attention to detail.

And he's just a big softie at heart, too....... Image

Thanks again, mate!!

I'd also like to express my massive appreciation:

To Paul for his 'curmudgeonly expertise', which has helped me to get my bass 'just right';

To Peter for his gracious 'host with the most' approach to moderating his forum;

To Bob Scott for allowing me to purchase his C64S in order to more quickly alleviate my horrible 28 year long case of RAS;

And to everyone else who (more often than not) help to make this the most interesting and amiable forum I visit!

It is an "armrest", made of the same material as the pickguard and the TRC. It guards the finish, but also softens the sharp body edge slightly for comfort.

The "pink thing" is actually copper-colored. It is the remote control for the RIC/Baggs E3 pickup system.
