Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Am I the only one who prefers the "standard" width neck over the wider one?

Hi Everyone, I've created a Facebook group, The Axe Files, https://www.facebook.com/groups/264888563679018 , dedicated to posting stories about the search for and acquisition of our instruments. Fascinated by the "Pick of the Month" section of Dave Gregory's website, http://www.guitargonau...

Sorry I'm missing it. I really enjoyed attending Paul's past confluences.

Two fer me

I, too, am a bit late to this conversation, but am definitely interested in attending. Would be coming from Madison, but have no Chicagoland preference.

The middle pickup on a 370, with standard wiring, makes the "up" switch position usable as far as I'm concerned. It adds more mid-range than you can get by balancing in the bridge pickup with the fifth knob. Go here: http://www.myspace.com/tinfoilhelmetmusic, and listen to the opening chor...

Perhaps Mitch Easter could answer that for you. He may have used Mitch's 12 string on that song.

I once played one of the RCA 360/12SPC guitars. It had a darker tone than typical, but how much of that can be attributed to the HBs and how much to the walnut body is hard to say.

I neglected to include Marty Willson-Piper in my list. Sorry Marty!

Pete Townshend
Paul Weller
Peter Buck

These were the artists I listened to most during my formative guitar-playing years. Other cool Rickenbacker-playing artists I was exposed to later just reinforced my impression that Rickenbacker was the guitar for me.

The only thing I play on my six strings that I don't on my 12 string are bends greater than a half step. Play the 24th fret on a a twelve string? If it's there, why not?

Now they can issue a Peter Buck signature model with poured inlays, and it won't be just a stock Jetglo 360.
