Are you enjoying the jangle??
Thanks! Yeah it's great so far. I posted a video over in the "Recordings by members" section, you can see it in action briefly if you're so inclined.
Thanks again.

That's All It Took

With five of us living in a small downtown Toronto house during a pandemic, I don't get a whole heck of a lot of music recording time. I recently had a few days all alone for the first time in over a year so me and the dog lit a fire and took a shot at covering a Gram & Emmylou song by way of th...

Re: Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

Congrats on the new guitar! Should be fun exploring all the sounds it can make. I found with my 330/12 that using Rickenbacker strings on it got it really close to a vintage sound, even though it originally had Hi-Gain pickups. I later had toasters installed, which sound great. But to me, it didn't...

Re: Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

I have two 330-12 strings and love both. I can tell you that you can score a Rick 330-12 any day from Dave's Guitar Shop in Wisconsin for just over $2000 USD. Dave is a great guy and the shop has a spotless reputation. Dave is usually in the La Crosse location. He has three stores, I think. Not sur...

Re: Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

So after thinking about it since December I just pulled the trigger on a 2020 360/12 Jetglo, pick it up next week. I can return it within 30 days, and get a 1 year warranty. It was previously out for 1 day and returned so I got a bit off the price, $2479 US. I agonized over used vs. new, different m...

Re: Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

Thanks Wizz.
That’s totally it, dipping my toe in. I am sort of partial to the 360.

Re: Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

I've owned a 360/12, a 660/12 and currently have a 330/12 and a 360/12 WB, both of which have had a third pickup added, but will still play in all their original configurations if desired. At this point, I wouldn't sweat the fine details an awful lot. They all clearly sounded like Rickenbackers, wh...

Re: Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

Welcome to the RRF Brian! I too am an Ontario based Brian, so I thought I would say hello. Long and Mcquades is likely a good place to try one out locally. Although I realize that everything is in lockdown at the moment. Ha, thanks for the welcome and response Brian! Yeah, L&M is indeed the pla...

Some Guidance on Getting a New 360/12?

Hey there, I’ve been lurking for a bit but this is my first post. Totally understand if you don’t want to indulge this lengthy post, but here is me agonizing over getting a new 360: I've always wanted a Rickenbacker 12 string. Recently, even though I wasn't looking to buy a new guitar, I played a re...
