Hi Dave your recent posts are like depressive Scandinavian plays from 100 years ago where the Rickenbacker acts a metaphor for life and the protagonist ends up suicidal. Ingmar Bergman then filmed the play in black and white in the 60’s. Fear if you go live the devil will contact you with the resolution to the nut string bridge problems, but at what cost.
Keep well and happy. Great channel.
I am now taking my 30 sleeping pills (out of respect for Bergman, and Dave)....zzzzzzz
Ricks are quirktacular. In the past, I've simply flipped a problem saddle over (bottom is now the top), filed the new top round, and cut new string slots. The old slots rest against the bridge plate and you can't see 'em. In a few cases, I've made new saddles from 1/8" flat stock. They do NOT pay us enough, brother!
daves love affair with all things Rickenbacker continues....
Isn’t the string configuration what gives the Rick 12 string it’s sound? With the octave on the bottom?
Almost 100k subs. You deserve many more!
Great editing Dave. Deja vu all over again. Cheers! :-)
dave looks like there should be a spring in there. cheers, Andy.
My best friend, who I play in a band with, has a fire glow version of this and he would love to have this mod done to it. Since watching, and learning, about this mod, I feel like we can do this mod! Thank you Dave, from the heart of my bottom,HaHa, for this video(s) on this 12 sling Ric! You make it look easy! What! Thanxz
That 45 second dissolve was excellent; real old school TV. Any idea what year that bad boy is?
Has anyone from Rickenbacker ever contacted you about your videos of you fixing their guitars? Or....Correcting their mistakes? Its weird how expensive their guitars are, then these problems pop up. I have watched your Ric repairs and I'm like , Wow. You figure, for 2-5 grand, their guitars would be flawless
I do enjoy watching these videos. I learn a lot from them. I plan on building my own Rickenbacker type guitar soon. Yes, it's best to build your own instead of buying something that will cost you in the long run.
Hooray! Another segment of the what could possibly go wrong series.
Keep em coming Dave.
Cheers!
I like your style, straight to the point. If its fucked its fucked and if its shit its shit. And you have no problem telling it like is.
I always enjoy your videos, I also learn new things to help me repair my own guitars. Thanks for what ya do!!!
If I were getting a new nut put on a Rickenbacker 12-string, I would reverse the order of each string pair so the octave string comes second, and reverse the bridge saddles around to accommodate it.
I might also get a zero-fret made for it, so the nut slots would only need to be concerned with getting the string spacing right, while the zero-fret would handle the height. (The Burns 12-string electric guitars from the '60s all used zero-frets.)
I think the strings are pushed toward the bass side because the saddle grooves s are offset from the thru-screw hole. Flipping everything around would move all the strings north. You could leave as-is and cut new grooves on the other side of the screws. Would leave orphan grooves behind, but wouldn't require buying new saddles/bridge.
Dave, you would've been thrown out of the Rickenbacker factory just like I was, messing with their engineering stuff!
Love your new opening piece
Dave, I'm one of those guys that WAS enamoured with Rickenbackers. 4001, 4004, and the electric 12 strings. Still love the sound of them, but I never bothered to look at the engineering behind them, and the price was already prohibitive.
If the bridges were replaced with a Babicz, the nut replaced with graphite, the frets replaced witb stainless steel, the fretboard cleaned off of all that thick lacquer, would the electronics still have to be overhauled as well? I know the pickups are artifacts, but are they wired to quality pots and wired properly out of the box?
I was surprised that the slots are cut in line with the neck and not angled between that and the angle off towards the tuners... Why isn't this the norm?
I briefly owned a Rickenbacker 360/12 but couldn't get along with the narrow neck. I sold it before I had to deal with any setup or string change issues, thank goodness. I still have a Ricky six-string and that's enough for me.
The more modern RIC bridge has a "knife edge" on it as opposed to the round-over, with just a knick to align the string. The one Dave is working in is different than mine here.
Wow this just never gets better, does it
this guitar will never leave your house
The struggle is real. Keep it up Dave.
Dark French roast and a new post from Dave of Toronto, not much better than that! 1 hellava way to wake the morning! Thanxz
Did the owner want to keep the strings in the "wrong" orientation (i.e. octave string first?). It seems like it would've been better all the way around if you restrung it the "right" way, like a normal 12 string.
It wired that Rickenbacker 12 string octave strings are opposite of every other 12 string guitar.
Rickenbacker 12-strings are normally strung with the normal string is hit prior to the octave string on the down-strum. Which, of course, is reversed from other 12-string guitars. I noticed on some live performances of the Beatles, George Harrison had to up-pick his solos on the songs using that Ric 12-string. Unless the owner wants to convert it to a normal 12-string, I wouldn't waste time rebuilding it.
Reminds me of my teen years, trippin my ass off! Am I seeing double? Am I having Deja Vue? Far out man. 🎵🎸
hi ,my 620/12 has separate saddles for each string ,ala gibson style .the strings are set so that they are all level across the top !!!!!
The best played plans of Mice and Men never work on a !2 string Rick in the backer..keep the faith Dave
Working on a RickenYacker is enough to drive you insane, throw in an extra set of strings and 4 times the fun
Hang in there Dave !
Thanks for the Details. Great Work.
Ground Hog day acid trip. Great vid Dave :)
That Rickenbacker was definitely built by "That Guy!"
Daves world of not always fun stuff.
Everyone of my Rickenbackers with the 'R' tails make the strings run cock-eyed.
I think I got swallowed by the time tunnel there.
Hi. Do you know where I can get a Nut for my twelve string double neck Rickenbaker guitar/bass. Thank you
"The Management Reserves The Right to Refuse Service to Rickenbackers"...something in a wood burned sign perhaps?
Burned into an old worn out Rickenbacker
I think there was LSD in the editing software !! Peace and Love brother ✌💜😵
Have a great weekend and rest!Cheers
Nut buster 2018 !
Thinking inside thinking when your thinking.
I always thought the strings on Rickenbacker 12 strings are the other way around than usual i.e. thick string first, then octave?
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff haha yea, I imagine. I never got why they do this anyway. but from what I've seen about Rickenbackers, they wouldn't know either.
Ok, maybe this is a dumb question, but why does this Rickenbacker have two inputs??
I think the one scene repeated itself at least twice?
BAD TO THE BONE What is going on with these Bone Suppliers? I had the same thing happen to me recently. A finished Fender Nut split on me. Same thing I scanned it under a high intensity lamp and saw the cracks. Checked the others in the lot I was sent same things!
i like the ghost vid.
Gotta catch a live Dave some time.
I am guessing the beer consumption was heavy during the editing phase of this video Dave.
The first nut had a calcuim deficiency. They should make them without osteoporosis.
Nut more? Time to call the boys.
Give it up and install a zero glide nut. Why are you reversing the strings?
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff Unplayable how? I'm not trying to be a wise ass here, please explain. I would like to understand the issue and I see nothing on the web supporting your assertion.
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff I installed a Zero Glide ZB-2 on my 366 and it works like a charm. The bone nut they supply doesn't work well for the close pair spacing on these 12-strings, so I made a brass one. I can send photos if you wish.
You have the patience of a Saint, next time charge triple for all Rickencrappers.
Mebbe this should be an El Kabong guitar.
why did you reverse the bridge and saddles? I can't find the reason why. I have 2 Ricks, never had a problem
Agreed. I have had my 450/12 and 366 for 50 years and they are fabulous, except for the nut.
I just learned something... (oh.. wait I can`t say that)
also i watch on roku and you cant hit like. sorry. I like
That doesn’t look like an original bridge. The Ric 12s I had, had different looking bridges
I really feel your angst, great viewing though ha ha ha, love your vids.
Your adventures lead me to believe Rickenbackers are garbage and should be avoided at all cost....Maybe that's why Pete Townshend smashed all of his...
Yeah, it's overpriced garbage. Fender and Music Man are much more worthy of anyone's money.
george harrison liked his.
had to quit facebook.
HaHa the Ricken Backer crazy train part two eh?? better put TWO six packs a LaBatts in th fridge for later Dave!
Instead of calling them "Stick in the backer", perhaps they should be called Rickenhacker".
They are hacked together at the factory, just good enough to make them work.
beer much!
please move on from facebook. I'm with you
So, ive been watchin your videos for a while now, and i gather.... Are you not a big fan of Rickenbacker?
LOL, gebtting old sucks mate ;)
Good thing is you gain a bit of Wisdom (not to be confused with Intelligence).
Waking away from that for a while Wise.
Not a dig at Dave, not saying he's unintelligent.
Just saying Old and wise doesn't mean we don't do stupid things ;)
Thanks Dave I will now never ever buy a Rickenbacker.
Pain in your ass these Rickenbackers... So... I will never buy one.
aah Canadians ‘piece of shite’ well done lad I thought it was only us Scots and the Irish that still differentiate between shit and shite.
