    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    I got this bass in early 2026 and slowly built it back together over the year. The P Bass is still my number one by a longshot, but I can't help loving Ricks and always wanted one when I didn't have one. I never had a true 4001 (full scale + neck pickup + neck through), so when the opportunity...

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    More or a rehabilitation I suppose, bought this May ‘67 refin husk and it’s got a combination of vintage, reissue, reproduction, and new parts on it. The bridge pickup surround is from a 1962 4000. Definitely a players grade vintage bass, but that’s exactly the kind of instrument I love!

    Who's ended up running just an old passive four string plugged straight into an old (or newish) tube head these days?

    Whats the story on that Jazzmaster Bass VI? Really cool looking conversion.

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Does anyone know where I can find a baseplate, screws, and springs, for the trebel pickup on a bass? Been trying to find just the baseplate and hardware to no avail. Closest I can find is this retrovibe one in the UK. If anyone in the US has a spare one lying around, send me a message, I'd love...

    NBD - 1966 Fender Jazz

    That custom pickguard is so cool.

    1966 Rickenbacker 4005 Tobacco /autum glo with F hole

    Sounds like a Rose Morris 3261 (the export model version of the 4005).

    Making a Hofner sound like an upright bass

    6 years ago, knowledge changes and improves; 6 years from now I'm sure I'll see some stuff I said today that wasn't as accurate as it could be.

    Never! She’s defintely made short work of the tolex on both of them. I just let them be her outlet, better the amps than the instruments.

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    I removed the teeth (+ ledges) and screws on an allparts bridge I had on the white 4000. I also had the spacing tightened up a little. Was able to palm mute perfectly and felt right at home on it. I unfortunately needed to sell it to fund some veterinary bills as another creature also needed...

    Not a Bug Recent Watched Threads In Classified Not Showing Up In My Watched Threads

    My own thread I posted in the classified is not showing up in my watched threads section. I watched another thread as an experiment and that didn’t show up either. Here’s the link if it helps: https://www.talkbass.com/classifieds/vintage-1970s-acoustic-370-amp-head-just-serviced.1658046/ Thanks!

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Just sold my 3000 so I no longer have any Rickenbackers after having sold two other Rick basses last year. Hopefully that deluxe 4001 with the giant pickguard becomes a standard model, I'd love to re-enter the Rick world again someday when the time is right!

    What happened to the "Bump" feature in classifieds? It's my favorite feature!

    I'm not seeing it anywhere on the desktop or mobile version either.

    I'm experiencing the exact same issue with every item I have an add up for. I also am unable to edit the custom fields like the price or mark something as sold. @paul
