Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Model 350 meets Traynor YCV40A. My Model 350 sparkles through the clean channel of this Traynor Tube Amplifier. Not hard to look at together either. I would like to hear what you think of your 350. For me, it is the perfect size body and is the most comfortable player around.

Peter, I'm partial to the 350 series too. I presently own a 350V63 in Burgandy & Desert Gold. I did own one in RUBY. Also hope to order one each in Blue Boy and Montezuma Brown.

PS: I even owned a Maple Glo 350. ;-0

I've decided that I will get a 350 sooner, rather than later. For now, however, I can reveal for the first time that my first Rickenbacker deal is currently being inked... A gorgeous 1999 330 Fireglo with Vintage Pickups

Well Peter, you know that I love my 350V63 even better since the B5 installation. It's still the one I grab when I just want to plink around!

Of all my 6 Rics, she is my favorite.

Here's a recent picture of her, getting a workout...

Very nice Rich. Good work on the B5 installation. Also, it looks as if you are wired for sound!

True Peter! That's one of those AirLine Wireless Systems from Samson. It's VERY small (both the TX and RX side), and NO belt pack (which is why I got it.) Bought it used on eBay over a year ago.

I know wireless guitar systems aren't for everyone, but I like it. It's something I use for convienience only.

Thanks Rich. I beats wires all over the place. It must really be something as you seem to have lost your head over it.

Lost his head? Perhaps.

But he seems to be acquiring a "spare" purple shoulder...

I think my 350 is my favorite of the Ricks I have owned, and it sounds alot better through my tube amps than it did through the solid state amps I used to have. Mine's a 1984 which I think is the first year for them.

Have any of you guys noticed that the strings are spaced a lot closer together at the bridge on these than on other Ricks, or did mine just get set-up different when it left the factory? I think they're about an 1/8" (3mm for our metric friends) closer from E to E than on my 330. I'm hoping to find a used bridge cheap that either has the wider spacing or that I can re-notch so I don't have to put a second set of notches in my original bridge.

Andrew and Peter....funniest thing is that it's not even ME playing my 350! lol That's a picture I took at Beatlefest a few weeks ago, of non other than Rob Taylor, of "The Beatles - To-A-Tee" music instruction videos, playing my 350V63 during one of those late night jams. I sadly cropped him to highlight the Ric. Here, in full, is the original shot. The extra shoulder? Now it has an ear, too! Sadly, I can't remember who the owner of the ear and shoulder is! LOL

Rich: Thanks for not keeping us in suspenders any longer. In keeping with the Model 350, here are some recent changes to my 1993 Model 350.
