Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hi new member here. Is North Coast music a good place to buy online? What are some other good place for phone orders? Thanks.

I've never dealt with North Coast personally but they have a good reputation. I've bought from Pick of the Ricks in New Jersey and recommend them very highly (as do many here).

+1 !!!!

I've had good dealings with Chris at Pick of the Ricks, Mike Parks at The Rickenbacker Page, in NC, and Wildwood Guitars in Colorado...

All the specialty RIC dealers I have dealt with are great, but I do have to tilt towards POTR in part due to Chris' and Shelby's amazing generosity in the past.

Thanks!! I am looking at a 325c64 and POTR didn't seem to have one, but maybe I will call and check.

I recommend that you call or email POTR - Chris's web page listings aren't always fully up to date.

I bought most of my new basses from North Coast Music. Gary gives the very best prices and great service. I got my Monte Brown 4003, my Blueburst 4004Cii, my DCM 75th Anniversary 4003, and a Höfner 5000/1 Deluxe from NCM. Highly recommended.

Another vote for Pick of the Ricks! Chris Clayton is an expert and he will take care of you. I've heard good word of mouth about North Coast Music, particularly as an amp dealer. Some here like Musician's Friend (see the recent thread "Musicians Friend Rickenbacker" on Rickenbacker General).

Pick of the Ricks! Chris Clayton rocks ... and knows his Ricks!
Been dealing with Chris for over 10 years. Triple A rating.

No dealer in the entire country gives as much to the Rickenbacker community as Chris at Pick Of The Ricks. Each of the recent Mid Atlantic Rick Fests have been held at his store at a substantial cost to him (and free to us). Chris goes out of his way to develop products to meet our needs (custom TI strings sets, an excellent stereo cord, etc.). His knowledge and customer service are superb. Always call Chris if you are looking for anything Rickenbacker, you won't be sorry.

Rhoads Music in PA is great...ordered my 360 from Jim over the phone and was very pleased with the service. Highly recommend.

Parkway Music in Clifton Park, NY, is also great...easy to deal with as well.

Thanks so much guys!!

I have bought guitars from Gary at Northcoast Music and Mike Parks of the Rickenbacker page and recommend both of them highly.

I've bought several instruments from Gary at North Coast, and one instrument and several other items from Mike Parks. You can't go wrong with either of these guys. Always a pleasure dealing with them, as well!
