Re: Poll: When Did You Acquire Your First Ric ....
A 1991 330-12FG was my first, I unfortunately sold it around 2001. Then I replaced it with a 620-12JG nice but not comfortable, so I traded it in 2003 for my 360-12MG. The 330-12 was Fireglo but it was not very pink - it looked like a slightly lighter version of AFG. http://k53.pbase.com/g4/39/69393...

Re: Whats new for 2008
I know it will never happen, but I'm voting for Ruby for a color of the year anyway. A store tried to order a 360-12 WB in Ruby for me in 1987, and it never arrived. I think they were already discontinued by then.

Re: Worship Bass Forum
Okay I joined, but I'm sorry to say I have a RIC 360-12, but the only Bass I own, and play at Church is an Ibanez. Let he who will give me a free 4003 throw the first stone

Re: Wrong capacitor in 360-12
Wow, Thanks Kris (and John and Jeff), Although my eyes glaze over when I see equations, I understand the English parts of your explanation. I had an idea it was something like that, but I needed verification. It always helps to know the why, so you can start putting the pieces together. I picked up ...

Re: Wrong capacitor in 360-12
Thanks for your replies, there is a noticable "thinning out" taking place, but if I put in the .0047mf it would cut by a factor of 10? It certainly seems logical (the value changes by a factor of ten), but I can't imagine it having ten times less audible bass. I know that when I modded my ...

Wrong capacitor in 360-12
I was reading a post a while back about the shunt in the bridge pickup of current 360-12 (and others), so I decided to try putting the cap back into my 360-12 (2003 high gains). It sounds good (just a little volume drop). The thing is, I was just reviewing some posts (and the Ric schematics), and I ...

Rickenbacker humbuckers on a 360-12?
I haven't been able to find an exact answer by searching the forum, so I apologize if this has been covered before. Compared to my current High Gain pickups, what would the Ric Humbuckers sound like in my 360-12? I like the sound, of the High Gains, but I am looking to lose the hum they produce when...

My 360-12 sounds very close through my Fender Ultra Chorus solid state. This amp has the cleanest and most transparent tone of any amp I have played. All of the crisp high-end of the guitar is heard giving me that vintage Byrds tone. For the Back From Rio sound I use a Digitech X-Series Main Squeeze...

Vintage case causing neck change?
When I bought my new 360-12 a month ago, my dealer didn't have a case for it. He had sold it seperately to someone who needed a case, and forgotten to re-order. While I waited for my new Vintage case to arrive, he loaned me a ES-335 style case to take my Ric home in. It was a little loose, but okay ...

While I have no stake in defending UPS, or FedEx. I would like to point out that guitars arrive at our local stores via UPS and/or FedEx. THe only difference here is that the store management has to deal with the occasional mangled package. it is most likely that ANY guitar that you buy traveled to ...
