and believe me, 18 beautifully hand-wired watts is plenty loud enough (plus it fits in the back of my VW Polo !)

Ha,ha...good one Howard. I wonder if Matilda would mind being dyed a nice shade of fireglo. I'll have a word with her, although I think she'll probably prefer to remain jetglo with white accessories, as John suggested.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Both of my Ric guitars are Jetglo as is my little Shih Tzu, Winston who by the way is also my best friend.

So I don't have to ask him to blend in. He already does. Now is that planning or what?

He and his pal Nikita our other Shih Tzu love the sound of my 360WB 12 string. See; even dogs (mine have more human qualities than some humans) can tell quality when they hear it. LOL

You guys, hijacking threads again, I was excited about all the potential insight here, but we're onto animals, I see. BTW, I just ordered a JangleBox, I'm hoping for some magic dust here, I believe it will really add some sparkle to this featured 12-string part I have cooking, and also, some fullness to other 6-string parts I have to do. We'll see, I finally caved after hammering Steve Lasko with questions about it for 3 months.

I think 'animals' is quite appropriate, Steve. IMO the Janglebox is one magnificent little 'beastie'! Refer to my reviews (12 and 6 string) in the 'Janglebox' thread under "Rickenbackers For Sale".

Howdy,

I think 330's sound more airy and transparent than 360's. The 330 sounds a bit more (just a bit, mind you)like a "Jazz box" by comparison to the 360. The 360 sounds a bit more solid.
To my ears a 360 sounds a rather like a semi-hollow Strat loaded with those P90-ish G&L p/u's.
Obviously, YMMV. I like the 330's looks, but now prefer the tone,feel and play-ability of the 360.
My MG 360-6 is more fun than M&M's. I love Rickenbackers!

Wow. I never made that "M & M" connection. Fireglo, Jetglo, Mapleglo. Hmmm....
