thedarxide Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Could I use this in a Rickenbacker bass, and then take each output to a seperate amp as a Ricko-sound substitute?

bass_ferret Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Dont understand? You already have a ricky with a stereo output? So how is this different to using a stereo split lead like all other ric-o-sound users? All I can say is it will look sh*t, probably get broken and is 3 things to pull out not one. Ok its sheap but I would get OBBM to make me a proper lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pointers to a cheap one gratefully recieved.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ1200 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Used them on and off for many years. They last about 10 minutes and break. Got a bent one sitting in front of me - 90p in the market here, same as the Maplins one. OBBM. I didn't theink the Rick-o-sound was the stereo thing though - isn't is an electronics pre-amp sort of jobby? Stereo is just stereo wiring - unless someone with an actual Ricky wot knows these things can put me right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've just found one of these in the loft, which should do: [url="http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--HOSYPP117"]http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--HOSYPP117[/url] Once I know I'm going to use it I'll probably get a good one made, thanks for the suggestions.

Mr. Foxen Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Much better off gettin an OBBM cable, I got 2, very pleased. Course current band situation means I back down to a single precision pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Ric-o-sound is a stereo setup where the signal from each pickup can go to a seperate amp via a splitter or Y lead as in this thread. A longer Y cable made that can go from bass -> each amp having less contact points to break the signal would be best. A splitter or short Y obviously has to have a mono lead into each side.
