Before you dis Carl Wilson. Play the riff to Dance Dance Dance and then play the lead which included bending strings like Carl did on a Rickenbacker/12, both live and on the record. Carol Kaye of The Wrecking Crew even said he came in from tour to record guitar tracks. Plus he wrote those riffs. Oh, and do it with heavy gauge strings like they had back in the early '60s.
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.
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.
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.
I absolutely love that sound. I have that same guitar with the 12 saddle bridge. I am 6'3" and 286 lbs and have large hands so this guitar is hard for me to play. Beatle fan to the end.
Senior Garcia, muy bien echo y que sonido, DIOS MIO!!!!! Estoy muy celoso!!!!!! Necesito los dos, la guitara y el Jangle Box. Muchas gracias por el video
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.
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 .
@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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Despite the camera's microphone, it still sounds like a good old Rickenbacker! If you're more a Harrison fan, have you ever looked into the 360/12v64 or 360/12c63?
Hola, Julián una pregunta esa Guitarra Rickenbacker es la misma que usaste para la canción del vídeo de World without love??? Gracias por tu atención saludos cordiales desde Monterrey Nuevo León México
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?
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=)
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'.
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.
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.
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.
@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.

What's wrong with Carl Wilson
Carl did have a 12 string Rickenbacker. He played in the TAMI 64' concert. You can hear it in "Dance Dance Dance".
Excellent presentation of the Rickie 360/12. The sound this guitar never lets you down, classic 60's style sound. Thanks!

I remember watching this video when it was new. Still a very cool demonstration.

I did have a fender strat 12....really small board!
I wish i could have one someday!
Senior Garcia, muy bien echo y que sonido, DIOS MIO!!!!! Estoy muy celoso!!!!!! Necesito los dos, la guitara y el Jangle Box. Muchas gracias por el video
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!!
you seem like such a genuinely nice person. youtube seems filled with unfriendly people sometimes. glad to find your video.
No fan of Carl?
May Chtulu spare your soul.
Such an amazingly gorgeous guitar, great video, amazing playing. Thanks for posting!
wow amazing beautiful sound...!!!

Great Rick demo. Thanks!!!!
Oh, beautiful guitar! And bravo on the cover! Gorgeous twelve string, really is.
It is a wonderful sound.
I came to want the guitar, too.
NIce demo, man. Sounds great. I don't think I have much use for a 12-string but you have me thinking!
Oh that sound !!! Perfect !!
So cool to see a demo in peroiod context.

Thanks! My next guitar was going to be a upgraded tele. But i think that the 12 is gonna open a new door on my writing! Thank u very much!

@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!
Could you sell me the Carl Wilson plate?
Nice job on What your doing.
I have that same sgt.peppers calender in the back!
What a sound!!
this guitar is beautiful and has a great sound, thanks for the review
Great vid Mr. Clapton
Sounds great

Nice ❤️!!!
I totally agree. He's a UA-cam showbiz superstar even though he's yet to realize it!
this is an amazing video your very good and its an awesome guitar

Classic Rock Kid but harrison also played that one (360/12 "new")
Hola, Julián una pregunta esa Guitarra Rickenbacker es la misma que usaste para la canción del vídeo de World without love??? Gracias por tu atención saludos cordiales desde Monterrey Nuevo León México
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?
Hey Mr...... thanks for your vid, very helpful and I liked the demo music
Cheers...:)
You should be proud to have a Carl Wilson Ricky.
@metallicaLP82
i think its a french or spanish/portugese accent.
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.
@ADPFUCKER Ehh, no the song is played on a Rickenbacker 360/12
Great gear ! You should have put the camera closer to the amp, but it's nice !
Hello, Nice to meet you!!

One question.
What will sound better to use a compressor on the guitar?

Sorry unfamiliar with English.
Thank you for the wonderful video=)
@lifestraight No i am not saying that he should have left the pickguard on.
Hey Man, that is waaaaaay cool!
@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.
Great job
Nice ...
DREAM TONE.
I love how you say "resonance"
maybe, you should sketch George Harrison's signature on the pick guard?
you should post a video of your configuration
@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.

I want this guitar sooo bad

@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??
@lifestraight Who's on first?
@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.
No, no! He's a vampire from Transylvania! All the best vampires play Rickenbackers!!
@namnoiz Ur saying he should've left the pickguard on there?
I like your voice. No kidding.
@ADPFUCKER What song are you talking about then?
janglebox sounded good
hey niko, wanna go bowling?
DANCE DANCE DANCE
Not quite true. George got this version in '65, and used it for studio work & tours that year (and I think '66 too).
What is Skwisgaar from Dethklok doing with a 12 string rickenbacker?
in the back of the room - there is an cover of magical mystery tour record :D:D:D
It's good if you want to sound like the Byrds.
Can't see you hands on the Byrds tune at the very end!!! Grrrrrrr.
nice)
Those things are quite expensive, aren't they? I think around 1500-2000 dollars for some of them, right?
@pedrez
thats a french accent.
cool
what would be a vintage tailpiece for a ric 360/12?
jgarcia658 you hear the 12 strings guitar at the begginin´of california girls
I think the sound is much better without the jangel box. Great song "What your doing "
"ReekenBacher... twehlv streeng geeter."
this is a pretty expensive guitar, what is the mystery 5th knob for?
How could you not like Carl Wilson ?
You can really play!
how do you string your 12? bass string first or treble?
i think he is from spain or south america
