650D
Any feedback on the 650D. Has it lived up to expectations?

I Like mine very much. Especially the wider neck feels good to me after a way to small 480. I must say that I found that there is a volume gap between neck and bridge pickup. But I like the sound of it with both pickups on best.

I've often thought of the 650 as the Rickenbacker that can handle the styles of music you wouldn't normally associate the 360/330/620/660 models with, such as blues or heavy metal.
In fact, a buddy of mine actually THOUGHT the 650 was Ric's attempt at a metal guitar.

Yep, that's the idea Jake. There is a good quite from JH in the Bacon & Day book that sums it up pretty good, but my copy seems to have gone missing?

Re: 650D
How would you compare the Ric mini-hums to say, vintage Gibson Firebird pickups, NOT the current ones!
