What a great addition this video would be to your site, Joey. I know I for one would love to see it. Even knowing the procedure on paper still gives me pause to attempt it on my '78 for fear of messing something up.

Dane, what's the ohm reading on that bad boy

+1 - I'm using the stock surround when mine goes in the 4003.

Patience doesn't run in my family so I went to a local music store that stocks the 9050L and 9050M sets. I flat out asked if I could get a discount if I bought both sets and explained that I all I wanted out of the medium set was the .105. Well, it's good to ask for what you want because the clerk ...

Well, the day finally came. Interesting about the windings. My C64 horsey is around 10.5k IIRC, maybe 11k. That's consistent with what Richard told me that these boutique horseshoes will be. I wonder why my C64 horseshoe is measuring around 7K? What year is your C64 John? Could it be they used hott...

Getting mine installed on the 4003 at POTR within the next couple weeks :D :D :D I asked Richard at Rickenbacker what the boutique horseshoes were wound to and he indicated between 10K and 11K (kudos to Richard for being so responsive on this BTW). I was a little surprised at how hot these are - I f...

Welcome! Sounds like you've got some nice basses there.

Joshua (and the rest of you experts), I want to keep the cap in my C64 and install a push/pull pot for a bit more versatility. Do you recommend the factory cap already in there, of is there a crunchier-sounding alternative? I don't know of any alternatives - I had the push/pull pot installed in my ...

No flats for the moment, but the balanced strings are hex core and are especially accurate with regard to equal tension across all strings. Quite frankly, this set is being offered more for non-Rickenbacker basses and is an entry into the "mainstream" string market. That sounds great - lo...

I bought a '75 Ric catalog on eBay recently, mostly because it was supposed to come with an orginal '78 price list but it turned out there was a typo in the description and I got an original ''75 price list instead. I'd be willing to trade my '75 price list for a '78 price list if anyone has an orig...

I'd like to give an SVT 3 Pro and the HLF cab a try one of these days. It's an outstanding combo. The HLF goes down to 28Hz and I rarely set the bass knob on the amp past the twelve o'clock setting. My only complaint is that despite being on wheels the HLF is a little heavy for transporting to gigs...

I just don't see the practical application of this for $4K unless you've got dough to burn and you're going to use it for recording. I'm much more w/ Ronbo and Teeder on this one. My SVT 3 Pro w/ 4x10 for gigs and '75 SVT w/ HLF for home is just fine - and collectively all far less than $4K LOL.

Very helpful responses - thanks. I like the idea of being able to float the thumb with the standard, and based on the pictures I agree it looks the best so that's what I'll go with.

Frank, congrats on the new addition to the family.

I've decided to get one of these bezels for the new 4003 JetGlo. Which one is what I'm deciding. Why would one choose the cove model over the deluxe with the thumbrest? Does the cove model allow your fingers to get closer to the strings and for smaller hands perhaps closer to the G string? Also, doe...
