Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Timothy:
Although I have always used RIC RW strings on my V63 since it was brand new in 97 the instrument has developed a certain amount of tail lift which is probably less than what you had in the 1st picture...so I am not particularly worried about that...I just want to avoid it gets any worse in case I decide to try some flats.
That's why I wanted to be 100% sure that TIs have lower tension than the rickenbacker RWs

thanks all for the useful informations and for the welcome back

I also think adding washers under my tailpiece helped correct the tail lift.

We are now stocking the Thomastik Infeld JF 344 Bass Strings. Our Price is 44.95

Welcome to the forum Chris!

TI's are definitely lower in tension than the Ric RW's, they are very low in tension, when I use them I have to raise the action, but they play nice and are a high output string volume wise so you don't notice the difference, they are bright at first for a flatwound. Pyramids never change much at all right out of the box which is one of the reasons that I like them.

Hi Chris, nice to hear from you!

Hello Chris! Good to see ya here. When I'm ready to re-TI my Hofners I'll contact you. Will you be carrying the JF324 short set too?

Fran: Yes we will have them as well.

Hello to all. I have lurked for years and will not post often. If it concerns a product I will chime in, but will not offer opinions as I do not want to offend anyone. I hope you understand.

We understand completely, Chris.

Boy, I'm offended already. Sheesh!

Ahh, we're all opinionated around here.

Sez who?

haha!
