Hmmmmm.... 18 in total, Melissa. I think I might be offloading the Ibanez soon - can't really make up my mind about it. I'll give it a really good thrashing (that's what Ibanez means, doesn't it?) over the next week or two and make a decision then.

Hi Carl. Thanks for that - it's a ripper and the neck is just to die for. Congrats on the 340 - vintage pups and all! I'll be looking out for a review - bet it will sound awesome with a bit of overdrive!! I do hope your 620s arrive soon ... one at least. I didn't see any mention of CMI on the RIC web site either, so I guess they're (hopefully) too busy shipping them out to be bothered. Eastgate receieved (on Thursday) a 360/6FG (mine), a 360/12FG, a 370/6FG (very nice) and a stunning Jetglo 35012V63... around $4500 for that one!!

I thought it was yesterday, Stan! Yes, there's a chance I may pick something up when I'm over there - something in Mapleglo or Monty Brown (if I can find a NOS). Great news about the oily payout, too! Given your recent prroblems I'm sure it's a real boost. Gloat away!!!

Looks rather familiar Howard!
Another Ripper!

Fantastic and shiny, Aitch. Tuneful as well. All favorite words, I'm sure...

I do love nearly all Ricks. The ones I don't love, I like. Maybe someday I'll break down and buy a tubby 360. If I do it'll be a CW 12, I'm sure.

I really am becoming fond of my double-bound old style '82. Right now (since it is a bit, er, seedy) it is on a stand by my bed. I like how sturdy it feels. Solid, like the trees that it's made of, with a slim and very slick neck.

But there's another Rick on its way to me. Details as soon as it arrives. Lots of details...

Okay.... I'm curious....

What are you up to now, Paul?

Lovely, Aitch. I can almost smell the "New Rickenbacker smell" from here.

GROUP SHOTS.....

The FG family..... L-R, 360, 1997, 4003, 660/12, 330

The others..... L-R, 620, 360V64, 350, 650D

Apologies for the quality of the photos - got plenty of work to do in that department!!

Gorgeous collection, Aitch....

Do you have a favorite?

ozover50 · Post by **ozover50** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 11:33 am

What a difficult question - I love 'em all!!

Ummmm... I guess the 360V64 and the 620 would be my top two, but I'm pretty sure the new 360 will rank up there too, simply because of the fantastic 'feel' to it. The 330 holds a special place because it was my first and it has such a wonderful sound with the toasters.
