There's a 1992 330 with factory black hardware in GAK at the moment that catches my eye every time I go in. I think it's lovely except for the black hardware hahaha

Hi,
Here is my 2003 fireglo 360 with lot's of dust, she's near new... i don't play it a lot.
There's something bizarre, the made in USA line on the trussrod cover is offset!!!

Thank's, yes she is very attractive but a little too flashy, she need to wear of the uses, solar uv... etc like it checkering on photos above.
Don't know how it will be done checks/cracks on rick because normally it's urethane poly...???

How is the neck angle on the Rickenbackers?
Would you describe it as a shimmed Fender neck or a not shimmed?
Would really like to know for the Greco RG one also.

Nope, not at all like fender. They run pretty much parallel with the body. (This is a ‘91 360)

Yeah, mines flat too...but the strings are HIGH off the body, like an archtop. Takes a bit of getting used to for sure.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Just got my Greco RG back from the guitar tech.
After a fret level, crowning, polishing and a set up it's a dream to play.
I absolutely love this guitar ❤️!

Congratulations! I see you have the thumb rest added to the bridge pickup. This seems like the most sensible thing to do. Enjoy it! They are the coolest basses!
