Ding-a-ling! :D :wink:

I actually do have a 330 being converted to a 360 WB, including plugging the mono jack input and having it redrilled to accept the ROS and standard jacks, including the dual jack plate. I bought one second hand off EBay awhile back.

Dig the 330's sharper horns.
Dig the more comfy way the 360 body shape rests against the bod when standing and strapped.
Otherwise, it's six of one, half-dozen of the other, IMHO.

Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.

On all the ones I've played, the neck shape is DIFFERENT on the 330 vs. the 360 (FWIW, I also own both). The 330s are consistently meatier, chunkier, and fit my hand better. One exception is my 360/12, which has a fatter neck than my 360/6.

The 360 necks have binding; 330 necks don't (again, all the ones I've seen). That makes for a different feel, too.

Tone is also different. I've yet to hear a 360 that I prefer to a 330.
