Rickenbacker 12 String

raider · Post by **raider** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 11:01 am

I played a 330 Rickenbacker 12 string at my
friends house the other day. It played real
good and I like the way it sounded thru a
new Vox AC-30. Which is the better way to
with a 12 string a 360 or a 330? Now his
330 12 played fine he has the High Gaines
so I know what sounds like. Now what about
the toaster pickups are they as good as the
high gains or just stay with the high gaines.
What are the advantages or disadvantge of the
high gaines VS Toasters. Also how many play
a 12 string either a 360, 330, 620. This is
something that I may take a look at because I want to add to my collection of guitars.

330's and 360 sounds strikingly similar. one is just cosmetically an upgrade of the other, depending on your idea of upgrade that is. if you do a quick search on the forum, the hi gain vs. Toaster has been discussed ad nauseum, just use the search function at the top right of the screen! I'm sure you'll be satisfied!

That's an excellent suggestion, Nick. Doing the "SEARCH" thing save lots of time for everyone concerned--and usually leads you down the path of more than you ever thought existed--though you're fascinated to see it all--on any single topic!

Diagram THAT sentence...

Hey, Paul,

You been leaving that bottle of "Luthier's Dangling Modifier" open to fume up the work space again!? Just
kidding - creative people use language "creatively".
(I remember in high school Latin something called
the pluperfect subjunctive mood in syntax?

That's only one of the fuming bottles in my workspace, Donnell...

I, too, took 5 years of high school and college Latin. Don't remember much of it )Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres...), but it sure helps with my English and Portugués...

Yes, indeed! I've had that Yuni site bookmarked for quite a while. This one made me chuckle:

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam - I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.

Now, if we could only get the legal profession--and politicians, especially senators from the South and Tejas--to take a pronunciation lesson, I'd have another seam in my Happiness Suit mended for this winter.

When the Senate adjourns without a definite day for returning, it's called a "sine die" (without [a] day [having been set]) adjournment.

This is pronounced properly as "see-nay dee-yay", being a classic Latin phrase, albeit a brief one.

Still, they butcher it into--are you ready for this?--"sign-ee dye-ee", or, when said rapidly by some mouth-full-of-cornpone Jubilation T., "sign-ee DIE", at which sometimes I chuckle, but usually I shudder.

What the he** is "cornpone", anyway?

Glad to see everyone here helping this person with his 12-string pursuits. Sheesh.

Lou, I have a 360-12 with toasters. I think it's more jingly than jangly. Playability and sound advantage may go to the 330, by a small margin, but looks probably go to the 360. The 330-12 will be a little cheaper, but perhaps harder to find. Good luck !
