paul
you think 12 string, eh? i've never played a 12-string electric before (never played a rick before yesterday - ha!). why 12 and not another 6 with the diff pups? i'm just afraid the 12 is a bit too 'specialized' an instrument. am i wrong about this? do you play leads with them? is it a really super-satisfying rhythm instrument - one that has no equivalent? educate me here some more, please, before i over-buy (heck - i'll over-buy anyway).

tony - right... and right, again!

The 12 is not too specialized and will give you IMMENSE variety and creative freedon. We've got guys who play slide on 'em!

People are initially intimidated by a 12, but it is such an amazing tool.

Can you play leads? Yup. And it is THE MOST satisfying rhythm instrument to play, especially a Rick 12. Magic!

Did I put in enough caps?

If you don't like it (and you will, believe me!) you can recoup all or nearly all of your investment, especially in a 660-12.

I personally think my 660/12 sounds as good with OD as it does clean.

come on - isn't someone going to come to the defense of the 660/6 as a second rick? you're ALL for the second rick to be a 12er?

THE 660/6 IS A FABULOUS SECOND RICK, GEOFF.


BUT ONLY IF YOUR FIRST RICK IS A 12!

(Enough caps for you, Tony?)
