I've got Thomastiks on my 381, Rick heavies on the 325, Thomastik mediums on the ES-16, and Rick standard 12 string rounds on my 660/12. The 360WB was strung by the previous owner with D'Addario rounds, and they sound horrible and harsh with the high-gains. It will receive flats soon.

My Fender Jaguar CIJ has the D'A chrome flatties, and they are great for channelling Carl Wilson...

My favorite Ric tone - 330 or 360 with hi-gains, flat strings or not, both pick-ups, neck all the way up, bridge turned quarter-way down, neck tone all the way, bridge tone half-way, 5th knob half-way. Amp - Line 6 Flextone III on Matchless Chieftan setting, a little overdrive, small delay and reverb, with compressor. That's my chime ... jangle all the way ...
