Pookus Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have a very nice '73 Rickenbacker Jetglow 4001. When I bought it (in 1984) the damper assembly was missing. Until now I never missed it - but recently I got into using flatwounds and a whole different vibe. I want to replace the damper. Now I can easily resource the two bolts (they appear to be the same as the strap buttons!) but I cannot seem to find the strip with the damper material. Can anyone help me find one - or fab one up? Cheers, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably want to see lots of pics of your '73 JG. As do I. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just discovered a Rickenbacker damper unit in my spares draw. It's very old and the rubber strip is starting to disintegrate somewhat. Also only one of the turning screws with spring is present. PM if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
