Rickenbacker Guitar 360-12 Demo with What You're Doing- Beatles

[cedbenson]

The 12 saddle bridge is absolutely necessary !!! To have 12 strings and a 6 saddle bridge is stupid. Why Rickenbacker doesn't put the 12 saddle on stock is beyond me. I did the same to my 360-12. The Janglebox gives the guitar extra ring and sustain. I too run mine through a Janglebox and sometimes through a polyphonic octave generator such as POG. Nice sound, but arent't they all.?

[dec04539]

Yeah! Love that McGuinn sound, plus the Beatles' stuff like "Hard Day's Night" and "Every Little Thing."

Good playing, sir.

[goshmerlin]

Thanks for showing the sound so clearly, I am after a 12 string elecro acoustic.

[hofnersinla]

Garcia ? sounds like a one trick pony to me...COOL TRICK THOUGH!

[GentleVenusian]

Wow - what a lovely sound with the jangle box engaged.

[TheSRalston]

I enjoyed this very much and felt happy after watching the video, GREAT!!

[davidtheguitarman]

If you don’t like 12 stringed guitars, your a bad person.

[willisthygryphon00]

What is Skwisgaar from Dethklok doing with a 12 string rickenbacker?

[Wayavas1337]

this guitar is beautiful and has a great sound, thanks for the review

[SubColours]

Clean.

[dmenkhau]

Oh, beautiful guitar! And bravo on the cover! Gorgeous twelve string, really is.

[1966425]

That was excellent! I always loved the sound of George's 12 string guitar. I also liked how you played "What You're Doing", the guitar really makes that song. Good job.

[MrNatalRocks]

Man, your guitar is epic, its not evryone that have one like this...Beatifull, take care of this baby. Are you italian? per quel suo accento é molto di italiano! Grazie per il video, voglio molto una chitarra che né suo. vedere anche miei videos.

[airopheleus]

list of the most epic people ever

1. The doctor

2. Dr Seuss

3. Chuck norris

4. This guy.

[rocksolid46]

Excellent presentation of the Rickie 360/12. The sound this guitar never lets you down, classic 60's style sound. Thanks!

[beatleboy903he]

I have that same sgt.peppers calender in the back!

[edubecks07]

Great vid Mr. Clapton

[1pixle]

how do you string your 12? bass string first or treble?

[petereuropa]

Thanks for the info. May I ask you (I don't know much about guitar gears) what does that 'Jangle-Box' do? I gooled and found the UK distribuator, and I want to order one. How do you connect it? From the RIC to the JB and then to the amplifier, or? From 'No Genius Peter E'.

[JGarcia658]

@petereuropa

The Jangle Box is a treble booster and compressor. It recreates the Roger McGuinn sound with the 1sy Byrds albums.

[petereuropa]

@JGarcia658 Ok, I will NEVER be a skilful guitar player, but I'll order one anyway & connect it to my 360/12. Thanks for info.

[todmills]

That's a nice sounding guitar you have and you play it well too. I've been listening to guitars online and judging them (not very scientific at all I know). I have to say a relatively new Rickenbacker sounds "heavenly", with a nice ring. A Gibson Les Paul sounds raw, nostalgic which I don't really care for. Finally , a Fender Strat sounds smooth, concise if not spectacular.

[JGarcia658]

@todmills

Basically guitars with humbucking pickups sound thicker whereas guitars with single coil pickups sound brighter.

[brdesert]

Can't see you hands on the Byrds tune at the very end!!! Grrrrrrr.

[trevwagner094]

awesome job, how much was your rickenbacker?

[Danirenegade]

Gracias por tu video, gracias a él me he decidido a comprarme una 360/12 midnight blue. Beatlemaníaco de nacimiento tarde o temprano tenía que pillarme una rick. Hace unos 10 días que la tengo y cada vez me gusta más. Algo incómoda pero me voy haciendo a ella. La afinación es muy buena aunque lleve el puente de 6 selletas. Por ahora no pienso tocarle absolutamente nada. La jangle box suena de maravilla. Love your playing. Thanks

[WilburyVision]

Great demo - love your playing. 12 string rickenbackers are some of my favourite guitar sounds in music - and you're playing some of the best riffs!!

[fguka]

It's Gru!

[BeatleJohnGeorge]

your from russia ?

[MadnessOfMarmots]

"ReekenBacher... twehlv streeng geeter."

[everly66]

It is a wonderful sound.

I came to want the guitar, too.

[BENNYGPRODUCTIONS]

if u sell the pick guard can u let me know. im a very big fan of carl. also your covers are great.

ciao

[nowheremancameron]

amazing demo and amazing accent dude thankyou was thinking of purchasing this guitar

[metallicaLP82]

wut accent is that its cool

[gus23a]

@metallicaLP82

i think its a french or spanish/portugese accent.

[ejacobdor]

Very nice playing!

[Keyboardman88]

@alejandrooiu Sorry, I out grew my childish games years ago. Besides, Aren't Klingons the stuff that was missed by the toilet paper?

[Painkill3r4]

Thank you for the Ric/Janglebox demo, JGarcia658. Sounded great!

Quick question for you... I'm thinking of modifying my 360/12 by installing a 12 saddle bridge and toasters. Did you purchase the toasters from Rickenbacker directly or did you get them off Ebay? And, do you find the 12 saddle bridge makes a significant difference as far as intonation is concerned?

[JGarcia658]

@Painkill3r4

My guitar came with toasters.

The 12 saddle bridge can be purchased from the Rickenbacker web site, but they seem to always be out of stock. Another source is Pick of the Ricks web site. I believe they also sell toasters.

CIAO

[Painkill3r4]

@JGarcia658

Thanks very much for the info! I'll check POTR's out for them.

Hope you'll post some more demos... they sound great!

[coldfustion]

hey niko, wanna go bowling?

[Keyboardman88]

@alejandrooiu I'm sure his English is a hell of a lot better than your Swedish!!!

[gdosic]

What a sound!!

[TanyaBrownEyedGirl]

nice)

[JGarcia658]

@alejandrooiu

That is a good one

LOL

[phreaker92]

in the back of the room - there is an cover of magical mystery tour record :D:D:D

[Beatles101318]

your a good guitar player but you suck at singing, everybody click thumbs up, that means you JGarcia658

[alienhuman]

You should be proud to have a Carl Wilson Ricky.

[namnoiz]

Removing the pickguard was a great idea. If you own a signature guitar and want it to stay a signature guitar , the last thing you want to do is eventually erase the name with your guitar pick! Nice gear and nice performance of What You're Doing .

[JGarcia658]

I have learned that Carl Wilson played very nice guitar for the Beach Boys. I am late in appreciating the beach Boys--even though they are from my time as a tenn, LOL.

[tanukibrahma]

@JGarcia658 Carl Wilson was a wonderful musician; what a voice!

[OropherThranduil]

@JGarcia658

wrell, sometimes it takes some time.

i wish i could have had them as a part of my youth.

but the 90s just weren't the 60s.

[lifestraight]

@namnoiz Ur saying he should've left the pickguard on there?

[namnoiz]

@lifestraight No i am not saying that he should have left the pickguard on.

[lifestraight]

@namnoiz But if the last thing u wanna do is erase the name with ur pick, then wouldn't u want the pickguard to tay on??

[namnoiz]

@lifestraight Who's on first?

[BandOnTheRun87]

you know George Harrison never used that knob as he never figured out what it did, why don't you have any les pauls?

[JGarcia658]

I don't know if George used it.

I don't have a Gibson Les Paul, however, I have a Les Paul Epiphone copy.

CIAO

[BandOnTheRun87]

this is a pretty expensive guitar, what is the mystery 5th knob for?

[JGarcia658]

When you engage both pickups you use the knob to enhance one pickup over the other. To alter the blend of the sound. Thanks for listening

CIAO

[Stevesk0011]

what? did he cock a gun at the end? lol

[ADPFUCKER]

@Stevesk0011 You need a acoustic guitar to play that song, not this Ric

[viceisthename]

@ADPFUCKER Ehh, no the song is played on a Rickenbacker 360/12

[ADPFUCKER]

@viceisthename I´m not talking about this song

[viceisthename]

@ADPFUCKER What song are you talking about then?

[Sk8Gibson60]

You should play "Here comes the sun," by the Beatles with that guitar and pedal i bet it would be beautiful.

[Herfinnur]

What kind of sound would those kind of pickups give if I put them on a six-string telecaster with a rosewood or maple fretboard? I am looking for something that would give me a sound that isn't fender

[gibb253]

Wow-someone has a Carl Wilson signature guitar and takes the signature off!!! That's the sound of "Dance Dance Dance" "Help me Rhonda" "Please let me wonder" .....plus it's the guitar Carl used for the legendary TAMI show. What can you say except De gustibus non est disputandum.

[JGarcia658]

Oh no!

That was stupid of me. I guess i never followed the Beach Boys that closely. I assume CW had a 6 string version. I love the clean guitar sound of the Beach Boys, but i always thought it was done with Fender guitars.

[gibb253]

Absolutely not stupid, you're just not into the BB's as much as you are into the Beatles/Byrds. In fact the early BB sound was based on Jaguars and Strats, but like Roger McGuinn, after a Hard Day's Night, Carl suddently appeared with a Rick 12. You can see him use it live on humanoidboogie's clip of the BB's live in London. I'm also very into McGuinn /Harrison and have just done a 12 string gig where we did Handle with care and Tambourine man! Congrats on your clip and playing-clean and sweet.

[ADPFUCKER]

That´s a REAL Rickenbacker !!!! there´s so many people in youtube showing fake Ricks, that´s horrible...

NICE GUITAR my friend ! congratulations

[LOKISlog7]

AWESOME!

I wish I could play half as well as you.......

btw, Once you played the first notes, I also thought of the Byrds........

Nice throwing it in at the end.

Love that Guitar n the Beatles

[hendrixdude67]

I love how you say "resonance"

maybe, you should sketch George Harrison's signature on the pick guard?

[barachdan]

No, no! He's a vampire from Transylvania! All the best vampires play Rickenbackers!!

[rve61]

dime box copy cat

[pedrez]

It is not a Latin language... Should be east european accent. And is has nothing to do with portuguese....

[gus23a]

@pedrez

thats a french accent.

[Corporations8MyBaby]

Russian is not a RACE.

lol.

So maybe you are being "Culture-ist"

=

The comments on his page appear to be in PORTUGUESE which always sounds very DUTCH to me... (it is quite near Holland).

[Corporations8MyBaby]

You should check out Carl Wilson more. He was a fine singer, great writer... and his guitar playing had a wonderful feel. I agree with u on the 12 saddle bridge ... and the Jangle Box really gives one clarity and the traditional sound.

[stevemaster1982]

i think he is from spain or south america

[brdrhppr]

love the accent.. haha

[Kekke466]

this is so nice, great video

[7777srd]

educational. did George play a 12 string on the original recording? Could you do a similar video on the Epiphone Casino? I enjoyed this one.

[soulsaphire]

I read that JOhn was on a Ric 325 12-string for this one. Not George. George played solid as a metronome, while John would rush the beat. Since beat's rushed, it must be John! They made very few 325s, but Mike Campbell of Tom Petty's band owns one in Fireglo. Rickenbacker's been making them again.

[Akustinen10001]

I like your english. You also play guitar well.

[apossibleworld]

you seem like such a genuinely nice person. youtube seems filled with unfriendly people sometimes. glad to find your video.

[beatlekid1941]

can i get that sound in a epiphone if i buy the janglebox compressor??

[utesman67]

NOPE! Not unless that epiphone is a rickenbacker!

[CluvVenny]

Maybe if Epiphone company makes 12 string guitars. Although nothing beats Rickenbacker jangly sound. Rickenbacker uses toaster pick-ups and I'm not sure whether Epiphone would use those type of pick-ups.

[beatlekid1941]

can you pass me the settings that i can use for sond like you in my guitar lespaul with my vox valvetronix??

[beatlekid1941]

man can you play you cant do that using this efect but harrisons part please

[viceisthename]

are you from russia?

[beatlekid1941]

man can i find the same sound with the compressor but with a vox ad50vt with a epiphone lesapaul ??? and can you give me the price of that song please ans see my videos!!!

[albertsauce]

NICE GUITAR but not the same as of The Beatles

[636117]

Not quite true. George got this version in '65, and used it for studio work & tours that year (and I think '66 too).

[TurgeonFan77132]

The rounded horn model he had was later stolen. He still had the pointed horn 360/12 up until his death. It's last use was on "Fish on the Sand" on Cloud Nine.

[TDubsesbueno]

@636117 not true, George acquired this model in New York when the Beatles first visited. The Rickenbacker president went to New York to show them new models and he gave George the 360/12. He used it on A Hard Days Night most notably in 1964. /Beatles nerd

[636117]

@TDubsesbueno You are simply incorrect. George's "original" Rick 12-string has the sharper horns, and body binding, with the classic black knobs. THIS model is the one presented to him by a radio station in 1965, and which was subsequently stolen from the AR storage locker (along with his Tennessean, and Paul's "cavern" bass.

Just admit you're wrong and be done with it.

[TDubsesbueno]

@636117 jesus dude, according to my research im right, but im not saying your wrong, i honestly don't know now. you didn't have to be such an ass about it though.

[ricplayer620]

dude, you are soo cool? I'm not joking one bit! You really play well (rickenbacker player so that alone screams Genius) but i just like your presence there. You're not dead just standing there. And hey! You got a good voice! 5 STARS... also where can I get a jangle box? I have a 620/12

[JohnnyFriendly]

I totally agree. He's a YouTube showbiz superstar even though he's yet to realize it!

[stras067]

I like your voice. No kidding.

[ADPFUCKER]

NICE GUITAR ! the Rickenbacker sound mixed with the 12 strings, man, is the most beautiful sound

[celticat61]

Damn but I enjoyed that.

[marccomptois0913]

what works far better than a jangle box is using the Rick-O-Sound jack with two amps. I set the treble pickup to a LAB L5 amp with lots of compression and reverb, place it back in the kitchen, set the bass pickup to an AC15 with a Boss delay, set it in the back of the bedroom hallway. I play in the parlor in the middle of the house and the sound is something to behold! Absolutely awesome. You can use a Y-cord but the Rick-O-Sound unit works much better. It improves the sound of the guitar.

[zrebeKDemitri]

you should post a video of your configuration

[requintiador]

chingona guitarra

[leopoldomarcialochoa]

jgarcia658 you hear the 12 strings guitar at the begginin´of california girls

[Beatletom56]

Nice demo, I had a 360-12 1967 and I sold it . Not a smart move. Keep up the good work.

[edro3111]

Great Rick demo. Thanks!!!!

[landscape0103]

Hello, Nice to meet you!! I am a Japanese, Attention to the sound of your guitar is great. I am 26 years old. I like The beatles and The byrds. One question. What will sound better to use a compressor on the guitar? What is your amp? Fender or vox? Sorry unfamiliar with English. Thank you for the wonderful video=)

[TheSupremeGenius]

Zees wahz a Goouud zoundinck geetahr to playick for me.

[thekillers1293]

Does your guitar have Kluson or Grover tuners on it????

[scorpguitar79]

janglebox sounded good

[CuyahogaMustang]

How could you not like Carl Wilson ?

[marshey123]

Nice! but the guitar is not the same as George's

rick!

[buddyhoot]

Sounds pretty nice! Ricks are known for being jangly anyways, but wow! Almost turned this off with the Carl Wilson slam!!! Nobody need be the wiser if you'd just shown the guitar and quality of it and shut up about your bashing of a great entertainer!

[6bender]

NIce demo, man. Sounds great. I don't think I have much use for a 12-string but you have me thinking!

[mnlwrnr]

Do you use a VOX AC-30 amp?

[mikeolds69]

Great demo, I wish I can play the guitar like you

Mike

[anibalico]

Hey, gran vídeo, yo tengo una 360/12 también y debería cambiarle el puente por uno como ese con doce selletas individuales pero no hay forma de conseguirlo por aquí.

[pacobeat63]

buena ejecucion amigo ,fantastico sonido como siempre,5*****

[MacintoshDan]

Wow, you're living my dream. You have all the guitars that I lust. Keep making great videos and keep the dream alive. In the meantime I'll keep working hard at school. Take care.

[Byrds1967]

Yeah, you got it dialed in. The toaster pickups and the Janglebox is the weapon that Roger McGuinn endorses. I had no idea that Brian Wilson has a signature model Ric.

[JGarcia658]

It is actually Carl Wilson. I guess they were running out of endorsers and perhaps CW once played a Rick, he, he

Thanks for listening

[JGuildersleeve]

Wow. Carl Wilson's band has done a heck of a lot more for music than Roger McGuinn's. Wilson's Rick playing may not be as "hip" as McGuinn's, but it's pretty good.

[JGarcia658]

I associate the Beach Boys with Fender guitars. Could you tell me in which song I can hear the CW with the BBs using the Rick?

[jimmmmybrady]

DANCE DANCE DANCE

[gyabki]

wow amazing beautiful sound...!!!

[Soujurn]

Such a wonderful sound! Whenever I play around with a Rik 12 string in a music shop on those rare occasions they have one in stock, I love the attention I get from people.

Mr Tambourine Man and the theme from Friends by The Rembrandts always garner praise.

[Hebdula]

Great gear ! You should have put the camera closer to the amp, but it's nice !

[duk309]

Such an amazingly gorgeous guitar, great video, amazing playing. Thanks for posting!

[JGarcia658]

Thanks, I am glad a young 30 year old likes 60s stuff.

[duk309]

haha, me? I'm 15

[JESSEGARON2]

i love that sound...a 12 string guitar is one of my dreams...

i like the song too. try to record it full

regards

[JGarcia658]

Sergio:

Thanks for your comments. I wish you and your wife and daughter a Happy Christmas and great New Year. Or like they say in America Happy Holidays.

[JESSEGARON2]

amazing video and amazing guitar... regards for all the family
