Thanks Stan, ya know I tried the oven knobs on this one but even though it looked cool, it just didn't function well, the spacing is too close together. I'll stick with the standard ones. | ||

The ovens are tight, sort of clumsy, IMO, at least the ones I have on my 325. Put Burns on them and went back to the ovens...but may go back. | ||

Yeah it's a tough call looks or functionality! Maybe I could get used to the ovens if I really try! LOL!!! | ||

Larry and J. Oliver. Just great photos. Larry: Please speak to the playing differences between these two instruments. | ||

I've got ovens on both my 660-12 and my 381V69, as some of you have seen. The seeming "closeness together" of the four knobs is less a functional problem that I would have thought, thanks to the raised rib in the center of each knob, which acts as a pointer as well as providing an easy way to rotate the knob. | ||

Paul: what I have been meaning to ask you, is do the vintage Rickenbacker knobs work well on your oven? | ||

You have a good point, Paul. With Burns you don't have a clue where your settings are. Was reading Peter's line as I was writing this...they don't work well on the oven but mine are pretty functional on my old Zenith | ||

Well as far as playing goes, the 350 neck to me is a bit faster and the 3 chrome bar pickups make a huge difference in tones as compared to the 660. I prefer the body shape of the 350 however the 660 body style is a tad smaller making it great for evening lounge playtime. As far as neck width, they are about the same but then I am not very critical in this area on any of my rics. Neck feel to me is the same. | ||

They work well on my oven but look like hell being it's a Maytag digital electric! LOL... | ||

I have a 660 as well, Larry, and I can really tell a difference between it and my others (in the neck)...but I have small hands |
