bass player I work with has a 360-12 that he's had for about 15 years now
While it sounds unreal but the string spacing at the nut drives me close to manic. he's let me take it home a few times, and while I love the sound I just can't get used to it.. ok for strumming, but I found it a bit hard for find space in the string pairs for detailed chord work. he claims he has the same problem with it so it's not just me maybe? |

From Reverb.com regarding Epstein, Vox and the Beatles:
The Beatles started playing AC-30s before they became famous. But they kept playing them as they hit it big, and as a result made the amp legendary. Here’s how:https://reverb.com/blog/Vox-AC-30-Primer |

I recently played a Rickenbacker, I think it was a 330, through a Twin Reverb at Guitar Center and the experience left me wondering why Rickenbackers aren’t more popular. It appeared very well made (better than the some of the Gibsons hanging next to it) and I liked the tone and loved the neck.

I haven't played a Rickenbacker since I was a teen decades ago. That said, I think the 660/620 models are the coolest looking guitars around. I would probably prefer the 660 with the vintage style pickups.

Brian Epstein's Involvement
Steve DeRosa said, "..........one of two produced for Brian Epstein.........."
I want to tap into that for just a moment. I can imagine Brian Epstein being asked by "the boys" to make arrangements for the building of guitars to their own liking and specifications. Is that what we are saying here? What do we know about that end of things? What can be learned about the specifications or requirements that were typical of "the boys" in those days? What were they looking for in sound, electronics, etc.?? I find it interesting that although Brian was the "Manager" to whom they might relegate various tasks, that they (the "boys") wouldn't go themselves (or bring in) to guitar manufacturers, to talk to them directly about their ideas for design and performance. That they entrusted Brian with that, seems like a stretch. -Soupy

I have a Ric 330-6. I love the neck on it and the sound. I disagree that they are not versatile. If you want different sound, the tone controls on the guitar are very flexible and of course you have pedals!

I've had Ric 6 and 12 strings, basses, and a cool 1940s Panda Bear Lap Steel. Loved every one of them. Don't play electric anymore, but Ric's are cool.

I'm fortunate enough to own two. The first, my 2001 650D, is my favourite electric guitar ever. 1.75" nut width, all the room you'd ever want, and fabulous HB1 pickups. This guitar has no limits - far from a one-trick pony.
The second is my 2011 330/12. My second favourite. Yes, the neck is narrow, and a bit of a handful, but that's part of the charm. When it sounds this good, you figure out how to work with it.
