Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Ged used a BA 1 and not a 2 on his main 4001's. That's what I installed on mine and it's great. They're just hard to find. The only one of his Rick's that had a BA 2 was the white 4080.

Maybe I've got an old link?

They do. I just got my pickups in on Saturday.

Why only 20 frets?

The cap is still in place. Everyone I mention it to has no idea what I'm talking about, so it's not been bypassed. I doubt it's the string, as I've replaced just that string before and the issue has still been there.

Jeffrey, what is your opinion on the HB1 pickups?

I've read about this problem in passing I believe on some newer basses (I can't remember exactly) but my 4001's E string volume is incredibly weak compared to the other strings. My only guess is the bass is old (a '76) and maybe it's time to update it a bit. I figured since I already replaced the br...

I got both of my MIM Jazzes in the $300 - $350 range and they're both excellent basses. A new MIM is going to be a great instrument and spending upwards of $800+ on a new player is going to be a waste, especially if it's unknown if he's going to stick with it.

If you're starting up another set in January I'd like in.

He's been a part of The Band From TV since 06. Granted he's not the leader of that band but he's a great piano player. This is to promote his solo album I think.

Amazing band. The EP is awesome. It's nice to hear such crooked stuff come out within the past couple years.

The long and boring song... that goes on and on.

Paper went pretty well and I mostly used this site for assorted references. Thanks for the help guys!

The registry has an extensive photographic archive. There's scholarly threads in the bass section on every model and all production colors. The Smith book has a great history. Well I'm not sure if my teacher wants pictures. Also, I know about all the great threads in the bass section, but the teach...

I'm doing a research paper on the history of the 4000 series for my composition class and I'm having trouble finding spots with good info. Mostly I've found company history (not what I'm doing) and price lists with a few magazine reviews. Now I'm not asking you guys to do my work for me, since I sti...

Their new record came out today. I like it a lot. First half sounds like classic Interpol and the second half has a lot of keyboards to it. Still really good though.
