Ah volume... Time was I ran two 100 w Marshalls 1/2 stacks and a Hiwatt 1/2 stack (2 x 15's) Loud? oh yes... I miss it, but these days I'm running 2 x 40 watt Marshalls.

Hat's off! I do a side business repairing guitars - Fenders mostly - and if you were in town here, I'd be out of business - cause there's no way I wouldn't send people to you. seriously a beauty job. BUT - you said you'd show us your Ric with the P 90's! Well??

Excellent job on the Chickenbacher! Watching you work on the wiring with such ease and obvious skill and knowledge was a treat. Thank you!

Wow .. my hats 🧢 off to you Sir , you know you’re guitars 🎸.. great video !!!👍

Really enjoyed this episode. Just bought my son a real Rick 360 12 and I’m sending him this knowing he’ll appreciate how it’s wired. We also have kind of a shared style ...all the best...Chris

Nicely done. I'd have added a barrel plug power out drilled into the base and just added the ring lamps power supply to the existing one - keeping the original goose-neck. Heck check the existing bigger switching supply to see what it outputs - it may have been 12v out.... ?

Very interesting video. I know nothing about electronics but found this fascinating. What was your overall impression of the guitar?

Sweet. There is also a 3D print to adapt the rectangular housing to a circular one for those ring lights. I'm trying to find a arm so I can ditch the stupid base these things have. Its limiting the positions I can put the board in. Not to mention if you move it too far to one side the scope falls over... I'll check out your other videos on this scope and see if I can pull any ideas out to do to mine. Thanks

what a nice job ! i hope the chinese ricken maker see this

Can you show how to wire a two pickup Rickenbacker to work like a gibson control, two volumes up front, two tones further back. I find the Rickenbacker to always be confused. Thanks, awesome video.

Backing noise is ruining the speech of the video.

I'm so happy you are doing great.

You are a perfectionist. Super nice work. Your friend is going to love it. I just purchased a real Rickenbacker 360/12 C63 love it

This is a fantastic video Billy - great explanation and attention to detail. I have one question - can you explain a little more detail about how you wired the capacitors to the tone controls? I see you use some additional bare wire first before soldering in the cap - can you clarify the connections? What I think you are doing is connecting the far left lug (of the pot) to the pot casing, the middle lug (of the pot) to also the pot casing and one end of the cap to the pot right side lug and the wire that goes the switch to the other leg of the cap? Is this correct? Thanks in advance!

What was the name of your band in the sixties? Just subscribed, love you stories.

you are true master!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience , I hope your work was appreciated by the owner ! Never been so engaged in the wiring of a guitar that I don't own !

RIP

New subscriber. Getting all caught up. Love your videos and your style! Hope you are doing well and can't wait to see the next video!

Well done. Informative and entertaining. I have no idea of guitar tech. I just play em! Great job 😀

Sir....that was a complete pleasure to watch...your assembly is like a work of art...beautiful...thank you!!!

I like that you played a little of the intro of The Who's A Legal Matter when checking the finished sound.❤

What happened to parts 4&5 they never materialised

I think you should be able to Sue anyone that sells you a KnockOff guitar if they dont tell you it's a KnockOff guitar. Recoup your money and keep the guitar!!!

Thank you for an excellent video. Being an auto mechanic for 48 years, and understanding electronics, I was impressed with your demonstration and information.

Loved this! Well done that man.

Another problem with that guitar. The octave strings are upside down. They're supposed to be low-high. You've got them high-low. If you're going after that traditional Rickenbacker 12-string sound it makes a difference.

I went to watch a technical vid and got a stand-up….and a tech vid! What could be better

Which model Rick this supposed to be a copy of?

Excellent, excellent video. You are a Master Craftsman in deed!

Are you ok Bill.. all video's are a year old or older

Wow, that is very clean,neat,wiring. Great ideas! Thanks for your video! Just discovered your channel!

Really enjoyed your vid, man! You deserve more subs!

How is back ever pronounced bach?

Can u make a diagram more like a drawing with the pots and wiring template, cause i understand nothing at6 you chematics?

I love my op-amp BMP... aka "Pumpkin Pi" (the Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream sound)... Hope you're doing well, Bill!

Views on this video are gained at a steady pace unlike my other videos that top out after a while. This is a pretty good performing video.

Such a cool, informative video, presented in a very engaging way. You deserve many more views!

I have a Chickenbacker 381 six string. Very well built and a beauty. Too bad they didn't make it hollow on the side of the guitar where the controls are. Amazing how well they made it. Pickups look right but they are not made like real ones. I think they are humbuckers but Toasters are single.

What gauge wire are you using? Thanks

Thanks a lot for sharing your acknowledgment, Master. I'm close to receiving my Roger McGuinn maple glow 370/12 Chicken and I'm excited to start with the correct wiring as you described. Once again, thanks!!

Those old Jensens can’t be beat in my opinion. When functioning properly they sound amazing… at least every one I’ve ever tried. I would gladly pay $100 for a reconed 1960’s Jensen that’s gonna last me another 30 plus years over any new speaker replacement. They definitely don’t make ‘em like they used to. It’s crazy that the two best American guitar speakers were both made in Chicago- CTS and Jensen. As a side note the modern day Italian made Jensens are garbage- they don’t sound anything like their vintage counterparts, which is unfortunate.

Came here from Brad's post. I gotta tell ya, you sir are a tough bone to chew on! And great story teller indeed. Keep on rockin'.

Hi Billy. Brad brought me here through his community post. What a story.

I found your channel through Brad. I can't believe I haven't found it earlier. Good job, sir! I hope your health improves from here on out. You are too young for all that crap.

Glad u r doing well! Take it easy we want u around! Rather have a little less of u than none at all!

What an experience. Thank you for not only your amazing story but also for sharing this "episode" I had a stent installed in 2011 followed by a triple bypass in 2013. I had 3 major heart attacks on February 16th 2017. One for the ride to the hospital and two more while in that same hospital ER visit. The heart surgeon installed 7 more stents, as the deemed another open heart surgery "too risky". Some of the stents were among the smallest medically available in 2017. Of all the things I have been educated about because of my heart issues and I have never heard of this possible risk. Now I do thanks you sharing. I need to have a chat with my Cardiologist.

Pretty good story Those ohm's are a !!!!!

Came here from Brad. Can't get enough of seeing people fix old and busted junk, so it was a no brainer. Best wishes for your health friend

This video is going to help a lot of people out. Master level wiring job, Billy!
