Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I have to speak up too. I sent my 360/12 out to Mark to have him fix the "Rickitis" it had when I first got it. He is a great person, and does great work. I have sent other people his way, and would not hesitate do to so at any time. He is a true professional as Bill has said.

Mine will be off to Mark tommrrow morning.

My 360V64-12 plays like a dream, but if I ever come over to the US, it's coming over with me & Mark will be my first port of call. If it plays well now, just think what it will be like when Mark has weaved his magic!

I wonder if Mark fancies a working tour of the UK?

Hey, Arnold, I saw your guitar after Mark Arnquist finished working on it. He showed it to me before he shipped it back to you (and started working on mine). Boy, you sure have a beautiful guitar.

Mark did the same mods and procedures to my 370-12 VP MG. It no longer sits in the case! I'm very happy with it, and I love playing it now. Glad I heard about Mark here on the forum . . . just before I was heading out to Seattle to visit my brother and sisters out there. Thanks for all the info and insights everyone shares here. It's nice to connect.

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 friend who has a v64 and loves it, stock! I played it for a show while I was out in Chicago and had no problems with it. If you can play your 12 and it does right by you, then that's all that matters. But, saying that, after you try a 12 with the mods, the difference is stunning.

Cole, good luck with your guitar (bass?)! Let us know what you think when you get it back.

Michael, thanks for chiming in! It seems like there's a consistency here. Mark does good work!!

Bill, like I said, Mark is a genuine professional, both in his attitude and his skills. You now know why I started this thread in the first place. I am not used to getting real SERVICE anymore so, when something truly good comes along, I have to speak out.

Best regards,
AG

Thanks Arnold, will do. Say a prayer for my 360_12v64 as she crosses this vast country of ours in the back of the big brown truck. I hope Dale doesn't pick this week to race the darn thing.
