I needed a fun way to blow my tax refund...

And this is my 360th post! (Cue Twighlight Zone theme....)

Wow, I have never seen that color. What is that called? It's not Blue Boy, is it? How does it sound with the hi-gains? Very sharp looking, they are awfully fun to play.

Good going Steve !

Superb Steve. Gorgeous colour. Thanks for sharing this nice Model 360/12. I feel like I am on a southern island when I look at the photos. The fretboard contrasts beautifully with the finish and I especially like the white guards and TRC and binding.

You've just GOT to love sea green....

I love it, even though it reminds me of a toilet seat!

Ry Cooder calls this color "toilet seat green".

She's beautiful, great colour. Unfortunately I owed on my taxes this year!

'Bout to say, what does a tax refund look like? I guess it looks like a new 360.

Maybe I can get Revenue Canada to send me a new Rickenbacker every tax season instead of a refund!

I'm totally addicted to Sea Green ricks. I love the colour, and agree with Peter that the white plastics and binding really work well with this finish. Plus my V63 needed a friend.

The 360/12 needs a bit of a setup - I always find the factory nut is cut a bit high for my tastes. It sounds nice through my Traynor YVC40 - the high gains have a nice crunch to them when you add a little drive.
One interesting note - the V63 is a bit darker in colour than the 360/12. The picture shows it a bit, but when you see them in person the difference is quite obvious.
BTW - anyone have a Sea Green 4003 they'd like to part with?

A lovely pair, Steve. Congratulations!!

Feeling a bit seasick just looking at them.....
