Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

OK . I have searched the info on this forum but.....what is the difference between 1 year old Toasters and 1 year old Hi Gains . I have both . I do not care about any other years , windings , etc . Oh wait!......I also have a set of year 1982 Hi Gains . These are all guitar - 6 bobbin pickups . ?? Who just slapped the back of my head ?

To the best of my knowledge(and that's very limited) the guitar toaster and the bass toaster are identical per year. The only difference was the mounting plate used to secure it to the body or to the guard.
Yes the bass toaster has 6 pole pieces.If I have made a mistake someone please correct me.
This may or may not answer part of your question. Also it's very possible that I didn't answer ANY part of your question.

These words he speaks are true, we're all humanary stew. OOps went to far with the Alice Cooper ref!

"Black widow". There's a fine name for a line of bass guitar pickups.

Black Widow, by Sérgio

oh, she is delicious.. and I hope he was! Such power and dignity - unhampered by sentiment

I'll give it some serious consideration hehe!
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy, I feel that Man has ruled this world as a stumbling, demented child-king long enough!!

and as his empire crumbles, my precious black widow shall rise!

Hey, you guys are starting to scare me!!!!
