Greetings,
Couldn't resist the chance to show the awesome work that my 330MG does at producing a silky, expressive tone for jazz, so here it is, for your review, not your typical Ric video

Nice work Miguel. Thanks for posting this great jazz number.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Welcome, Miguel!
Excellent, I always liked the mellower, jazzy tones I can get from my old 330 with toasters; a lot of folks forget there is a neck pickup and a tone control that can work well to produce nice tones, too.

Great tone Miguel.
Try some toasters if you can, they're great too.
The neck pickup on a Rick hollowbody must be one of the most ignored items in history *
To me it always feels like it's a completely different guitar though, when switching between neck and bridge. There's almost absolutely no similarity in sound.
*: I might be exaggerating some.

Thanks a lot everyone, you are all very kind! I appreciate your comments and advice, would love to try those toasters !
I liked that line about a Ric's neck pickup being an ignored item; certainly, a most unfair situation for the Rics and the sweet sound they produce through this pickup. Let me tell you a quick and recent story: Among different ensembles, I also play in a swing big band. So, a couple of weeks ago, we were rehearsing for the Xmas gig. During a break, the other guitar player starts a tasty accompaniment of 'Baby, it's cold outside'. I follow suit, engage the neck pickup, roll back tone a little and switch full bass on the blend control, melody comes out played on the 5 and 4 string, 12th fret starting point...man, the jazzy, hollow sound was awesome! Heads turned and the singer goes on the mic, 'that's a great sound...!" Really, he was absolutely right! I had/have some pro-line Gretsches, top line Ibanez and Epiphones and the mighty Gibson Es-175...the Ric sound is unique, rich and warm...for some reason it sounds more hollow than the other guitars...maybe the solid maple?
I posted that video on the JazzGuitar forum, if you are curious some more comments on Rics for Jazz, then follow this link : http://www.jazzguitar.be/forum/guitar-a ... -jazz.html
Thanks again..and Merry Xmas, and/or Happy Holidays ...!!!!

Nope. Simply put, higher-quality air on the inside.anothersixstringer wrote:...for some reason it sounds more hollow than the other guitars...maybe the solid maple?
Not to understate the talent of the player!
