It was Awesome!However,I cannot understand what makes a 12 string Rick!I is way different from that one...you know..the chiming sound!...

[lukecyrus]

Thanks!

I think the pickups make the biggest difference. Another thing is, that the octave strings are on the other side of the main strings, so on the ricky you hit the high string first...

[crazynicktaxi]

oh I see!Thank you for your quick answer and the info;)

The pickups are P-94 right?

By the way do you know the difference between P-90s and P-94s?

[lukecyrus]

No, those are mini-humbuckers, like they used in the 70s les pauls.

P-94s were a new take on the P-90s, they're actually stacked humbuckers, that are supposed to sound like singlcoils. Haven't heard too much praise about them, though.

[earthvssoup26]

@crazynicktaxi P94s are P90s that fit in regular humbucker rings.

[noisesoundtonevibe]

Aw, man, you make me want to buy a 12-string electric (if only I had the money) You sure can make it sound good!

That's some funky blues riffin'!!!! Sort of reminds me of Leo Nocentelli (the Meters). Is he an influence of yours? Louisiana
