Since Rickenbacker reintroduced the center strip thru the neck, has anyone noticed the center raised up in this area on their Ric?

Yes, and thank you for your response Michael. I realized this late last night. 🤔

Can anyone tell me what brand & model strings these are? I noticed the D & G ball ends are the same color. I'm guessing for whatever reason they're the same gauge?

Now that I found out it's Ellefson I wouldn't feel good about polishing it away. Megadeth were definitely on my list of bands as an 80s teen! And that Peace Sells bass line alone puts him in R&R royalty status!

Yes

😉

Did you ever find out the answer to your question?

For all of us Ric owners that are searching for "a good Ric". I thought I'd forward it to the club. If interested, PM me. https://www.talkbass.com/classifieds/rickenbacker-autumnglo-4003-bass-w-checkerboard-binding.1671839/

Cool! I think I might have a set that never sold of 3 or 4 HB1s and a BT1. I decided to price them at about 150 or so back then because they weren't the lic version. Anyway, I should be set then. Thanks for getting back with me.

Hey everybody out there in Thunderbird land! Is there a hipshot D-tuner that is a direct fit, screw holes and all?

The color configuration / ball ends screamed D'Addario to me. I'm not well versed with strings though. From my teens into my 20s it was GHS round wounds, my 30s until Carvin went out it was Carvin(rebranded labella at $9 a set!), and D'Addario round wounds ever since. I've never been drawn into...

Why they don't converse? Because there are a lot of morons out there in the world. I don't know what happened with him and the X bandmate. I've known the guy that created this post for close to 40 yrs. He's the most amazing friend I've ever had!

Haha! Yeah, It looks like they made the maintenance man at Samson the model for the photo.
