That is my '66 360/12, which was re-necked at the Rickenbacker factory in the late 80's with a McGuinn/v64 neck. I got it from Chris. It's got a scatterwound toaster at the bridge and an Allgaier special 6k at the neck. 8)

Thanks Paul, but he's just my bass player. Nothing more. Mmhmm.

How's the 6k compare to the scatterwound? Curious.

Well, hard to say of course because they're in different positions. That 6k is unlike any neck pickup I've heard. It stays chimey and doesn't mud up - just as I had hoped when I asked for it. :)

Great to hear, John. That's the beauty of a lower wound toaster. Clarity.

Indeed, which is precisely the reason I have one of your 12k toasters in the neck of this one (no clarity please!):

BTW, I have now been without my baby for nine months. :(
