Well 330 and 360 models worked for Paul Weller during his Jam years.

You'll probably want a solid-body unless you enjoy constant squealing.

What kind of amp are you using and pedals if any? Sounds like there is some gating going on as well. Jim Babjak from The Smithereens used heavy distortion through Marshall amps with his Ricks

I think in recent years Jim's played a 330 with HB's IIRC.

That two Rick sound of "Mark of Cain" is great -- thanks for posting the link.

My 330 works perfectly for pretty much any clean/distorted/fuzzy sound, just throw in a fitting distortion - something on the thicker side like Digitech Bad Monkey or a BOSS Blues Driver might do the trick.
