Rickenbacker Basses / Tux anyone? Clueless seller on eBay
« on: June 24, 2008, 10:44:35 AM »

Looks like a real Tuxedo, only missing the handrest. The seller apparently doesn't know what he has.

Too bad they turn yellow. They must have looked awesome when they were bright white.

Rickenbacker Basses / Heads up: Black TRC on eBay - $96 BIN

No affiliation.

Good deal IMHO. White ones (raised letter) go for $100-150, sometimes more.

I'd hit the BIN myself but I already have a spare TRC just like this.

This link searches all countries, can handle some typos (rickenbaker, rickenbacher etc.), finds items listed in the wrong category, and filters out pins, necklaces and such.

Rickenbacker Basses / Model 4000
« on: May 23, 2008, 11:12:43 AM »
A really nice one on eBay... Bob Atherton's '73 Fireglo 4000. We all love the 4001 deluxe features, checkerboard binding, crushed pearl inlays etc., but the elegant simplicity of the 4000... I can't take my eyes off these auction pics.

Rickenbacker Basses / Arnquist bridge mod
« on: May 19, 2008, 08:21:45 AM »
Here's a brilliant new (to me) Mark Arnquist bridge mod. He has kindly agreed to share the pics here.

Arnquist's description:

"As the saddle chassis tilts away from the neck ... by drilling the former screw alignment points all the way though the base.. this makes the base a holder for the screws.

Changing those screws out from 3/4" to one inch hex screws  gives you all the adjustment you need.
The hex screws under the bridge in the cavity are used for the saddle chassis feet to sit in.

After the re-assembly of the bridge ..it appears as stock, the chassis remains upright and has plenty of up and down height variation.

By having a good anchor and being held upright you also get better sustain."

1. Post holes drilled through:



2. Bridge feet sit inside hex screws:



3. Feet anchors installed under bridge base:



4. Saddle chassis feet indents drilled out:



5.



6. bridge feet extend through base now:



7. Base becomes support for chassis:



8. Modded bridge re-assembled:

Rickenbacker Basses / Early '73 Jetglo on eBay, listed as '74
« on: May 17, 2008, 04:49:39 AM »
Here. No affil., just a heads-up.



Full width inlays make this a pre-Apr. '73. Toaster and split bridge can be seen in the pic, with some Photoshop work I think I see sharp corners on the treble pickup surround, which are correct for an early '73 (74's have radiused corners). It should have checkerboard binding but I can't see it in the pic.

The Outpost Cafe / Hello... I just joined today

Hello all... I just joined here today. Nice place! Good work, Uwe and Dave.

Some of you will recognize my name from the FDP, Dude Pit, and the Rickresource forum. For those who don't... My name is Ilan Lukatch, I'm 46 years old, a TV news journalist in Israel. I love vintage Fenders and Rics, and have owned quite a few over the years. The general rule is that if I don't play it, I sell it, no case queens here.

Here's a pic of my current herd:
