Rickenbacker Basses / Re: Heads up - v63 JG $2.5K

I'm soooooo tempted.  Crazy good deal.

You could also try Peter Stokes (down by Berklee) or Stubblebine Luthiery in Somerville.  There will be a wait I'm sure as these two are always busy. If Jim Mouradian were still around I would have suggested him first.

I still have it.  I want to pull it out and test it etc.  happy to sell it to you.  May take a week or so for me to get to it - IM when i can.

Try $150-165, depending on where exactly you're listing it.

Good luck.

Thank you!

Thanks for the info though I'm still not sure what a good listing price would be.  If no one here is interested I will research pricing and sell them on some site that gouges me  :mrgreen:

What is a working EBO pickup worth?  I actually have one with no cover. -

I also have a set of Gibson T Bird pickups (2012 I think) - fully functioning in excellent condition - also wondering about value on this set too.

Any advice or suggestions on pricing are appreciated. Thanks!

If anyone's looking for either, I'm happy to wheel and deal a little / hook you up

I agree Rob. 

I do enjoy when he says things like "...so you don't dick it up".

These are all cool suggestions but frankly, this is not the body that you really want.  I, personally, would wait the 2-3 months.

Pretty sure he's just talking about the pickup being more responsive than usual to plucking/picking hand touch. At least that's its reputation.

That's exactly what i meant.  The output is very dynamically responsive to right (in my case) hand touch.

Yes, I've tried them  both.

To add to copacetic's post: Fred's stated goal was to reproduce the Bisonics that were hot-rodded by Rick Turner -- not the stock originals. That's exactly why he consulted Rick Turner during the time he was developing them. I'll leave it to others whether or not he succeeded, but his pickups were not the same as the originals and weren't intended to be.

Dark Star fans always talk about the wide dynamic range of the pickups. That's fine but it means nothing unless you like the tone. EMGs are remarkably wide range too, and I don't like them at all.

Cool.  I love the Dark Stars but different strokes...  They are the only pickups I've tried that i can really overdrive with my right hand.  Definitely worlds better than the Guild mudbuckers that followed the Hagstroms in the Starfire (but what isn't?).

The Guild reissue pickup is certainly truer to the original than the Dark Star.

Have you tried them both?  I thought Fred Hammon really nailed the Hagstrom Bisonic pickup with his Dark Star design..  If i remember correctly, It's a hand assembled copy made to spec.  If so, what did you find the difference to be.

I've played originals and the DS and found them to be an excellent representation.  I have a set in my 70's Starfire and i love them - you can really get the wide dynamic of input based upon right hand attack - just like the original.

A 72 with neck toaster / crushed pearl inlay / wavy grovers / checkerboard / all original is a pretty rare beast.  I think he's about 2.5k over

How does that make the strings quieter? The shoes are purely cosmetic on the reissues.

You are right, I spaced - spreading the shoes gives you the headroom to move the pickup for better balance.  Sorry, I spaced - been a while
