Rickenbacker Damper / Mute Assembly

Recommended Posts

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

You should ask at [url="http://www.rickresource.com/forum/"]http://www.rickresource.com/forum/[/url] - someone will probably have one in their spares box. :)

They'll probably want to see lots of pics of your '73 JG. As do I. :rolleyes:

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='778883' date='Mar 18 2010, 05:38 PM']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]

PM sent. :)
