I've contacted several "regulars" from the group and told them about this placeThanks for doing that!
if John or any other Rick company representatives want to post here, they are also welcome to.
It should be obvious to anyone who reads our Gibson forum that we allow criticism of manufacturers.
so is there a method of posting photos to this site ?
Welcome Mark!
Pics of Dr Quist's bridge mod were posted on this forum 4 years ago - just a taste of what he can contribute:

That's a real shame hearing about the FB page, and this is precisely the reason I rarely participate on manufacturer forums (Ric seems especially over-the-top in terms of zealotry and censorship). I enjoy the candid discussions about ALL brands at this place, and it would be great if those Ric FB folks brought the party here. 8)
I think that's the FB page I joined just the other day but haven't been back to check it out.
I think the fact that if you post on a forum regarding RIC, you may get a response from John, THAT!!, whatever the reply is worth a great deal indeed.
None taken, Jaymi. We're good.
That sucks big time. How can you infringe a trademark by discussing the good and bad things about a product? It's done all the time with car and motorcycle brands for 2 examples.
Wouldn't a simple disclaimer at the bottom of each webpage by that Ric Facebook site, stating "Rickenbacker and all its related brand/model names are property of Ric" blah, blah...be sufficient? There are lots of sites like that...Hamer Fan Club, etc., that are run by fans and users but not actually part of the manufacturers.
Yep, what the RRF does is Peter's business. Why he has banned people and whether or not John had anything directly to do with it is none of our concern. We don't need to bring that here.
Uwe had a similar experience to Ilan, John helped him with his 8-string neck and truss rod problems when he didn't have to. Unfortunately the neck still has issues.
True, the long scale 8 string concept is inherently flawed, way too much pull...

I've said this before, my dream bass would have E and A long scale and D and G short scale doubled with an octave.
