- The "TDPRI" forum:

( Telecaster Discussion Page Reissue )

Has more discussions than just the Telecaster, although it is heavily biased towards the Tele of course.

Within it are Strat, Amps, Technical, Technique, Acoustic, Bass, off topic and Effects forums etc; there are also links to alternative (scarcely visited ) Strat and Gibson forums.

It's the only other guitar forum I have 'Bookmarked'.

:D

Forums are for internet geeks with no friends!

most forums suck because the people on them are douchebags... this forum owns most out there! 8)

I'm more an email list guy than a forum guy -- old school! 8)

I have a half dozen or so forums that I'm technically a member of, but I very rarely can be bothered to spend much time with them! I certainly read BKP more than any of the others, though I keep a vague on on the bass forum in the rickenbacker.com forums, and sometimes the Apple GarageBand user forum on the Apple web site.

I like the restoration forum on the Rickenbacker site (theres some beautiful rebuilds there)

Carlaz, I dunno if you noticed Rics EBay site which may manage to solve your bass pickup search http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZricQ2doutlet

Also it's a reasionable source of Ric pickups at a good price (US buyers only though)

Cool, I'll have to keep an eye on that. That eBay guy doesn't seem to offer any pickups at present, but perhaps eventually ....

Yeah, I could buy in the US and ship to my parents, who live there -- just takes a while for me to actually get stuff when I do that, so I haven't really gone down that road for the pickups yet!

I meant to PM you about it when I discovered the store (they had a bass horseshoe magnet pickup at the time), and with one thing and another I forgot :(

I'm thinking of trying to get one of those 400 series pickguards with the hi gains in. I take it you know that the toaster tops used in the bass, are the same models as the 6 string.

I also thought there may be people interested in the NOS 50s tuners

Yeah, I'm angling for an HB1 in the bridge position on my 4001. Might get another for the neck or maybe a new single-coil high-gain. Then if I liked how that had gone, I might think about getting BKP to do a rewind :) I believe the HB1s are used in both the 4004 basses and various 6-string Ricks.

Ed Roman sometimes have them, I love the humbuckers in the 600 range(The most underrated guitar I can think of). Well theres a pair of hi gains in each of those 400 series pick guards ;)

I want my neck toaster rewound by Tim but as usual I have no money

Goodluck with your search

telecaster.com is an excellent forum - I've been on there since 1999
