Current 4005 bass toasters

Post by Nightsky69 »

Are the toaster pickups on a current 4005 bass just a pair of 4003 reissues?

Sorry, I was referring to the 00031 bass toaster available from Rickenbacker.

I imagine the 00030 pickups are being used. Same as the 00031 but surface mount rather than pickguard-mounted.
