The Beatles - If I Fell (Rickenbacker 360-12c63)

[dreemeagle]

magnificent...

of all the Ricks, there is nothing that says 1966 like the 360 12-stringer...

[moondogman]

Yeah!.....Now that actually reminds me of George!!!!!.....Keep on keeping on!!!!!...Thank You!!!

[invoxicated]

George used the neck pickup Not the bridge pickup.

[s2seltaeb]

@invoxicated I disagree. I don't think there's a single song in the Beatles catalogue that George used the neck pickup of the 360/12 on, exclusively. You Can't Do That uses both pickups, in the middle position. That's as much of the neck pickup he used on that guitar. Other songs (those from A Hard Day's Night, plus the singles) were probably played with the selector in the middle position -- but with the volume of the neck pickup turned way down, in order to get a more trebley sound.

[GodfreyTempleton]

What is the point of faceless people projecting themselves?

[s2seltaeb]

@GodfreyTempleton What is the point of criticizing someone on YouTube? What would the face be doing if you were seeing it? Staring into the camera. Do you want to see that?

[bubsadoozy]

@GodfreyTempleton In other words what's the point of music?

Sweet sound man .

[Floridaboy7777]

What an incredible setup. Perfect guitar, superb video quality, i like!! Is your amp one of the 1990's Korg VOX AC30s? A friend of mine has a 1997 VOX AC15TBX and it also sounds wonderful :)

[modfather1965]

Bitchin, man. Well done, and fab guitar (love mine too--2009 model). Sounds like you're using a compressor, yeah?

[s2seltaeb]

@modfather1965 Thanks. No compressor on this recording. I do have a Janglebox, but I didn't use it on this recording. My AC30 has had a little work done to it to make it more like a JMI AC30, and my C63 was worked on too... but I think the compressor sound is also due to my digital camera picking up the sound and condensing it slightly. :p

The flatwounds also help.

[sclongisawesome]

Good job man, I've always liked this song.

[StigOHarrison]

Nearly there brother, keep at it.

[MrMattnethan]

This is great. Really solid playing. Amazing sound, and very precise and true to the original.

Love it.
