Another black to white conversion

Post by wittyair »

I'm beginning to realize I prefer the white trim over the black.

You need a black TRC to go with it.

Actually Kris, that is a black TRC.....also, the black is the "before" and the white is "after".....dont know how it got switched around.

I have to say I'm not a fan of black on anything other than Jetglo.

The white on that one really works so much better for me.
But what it really needs is gold TRC/guards and toaster knobs :lol:

I've got cash waiting for a ruby 330/6 with gold everything, toasters and vintage knobs.
But I don't think it exists.........

It may not exist, but it's certainly easy enough to create...

Well, I happen to disagree. I think Black trim looks great on some finishes, particularly Mapleglo.

How could you NOT like this:

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Yeah, it does look cool on basses, but they're not real guitars, are they? :twisted:

How about a real guitar shaped like a bass?

Noooooo!

That 'guitar' has too many switches and not enough knobs.
And, if you believe what you read, Rickenbacker only made that model because they hate you! :lol:

Tut, tut. You silly boy.

Everyone knows 'a bass' is what is usually found next to the treble and balance knobs on your stereo.

Craig, is the 330/12 you're showing Red or Ruby?

And did you leave it WT or keep it BT?
