Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I use an adapter that was supposed to be TRS to 2 TS. But as per usual I was way to stressed to properly check so I might have got the wrong one.

The treble pickup works just fine in both switch down and center position. I do get a hair of the neck pickup in center but as soon as I switch over to just hear the neck pickup my bass goes dead.
Does this occur while using the mono (standard) output jack? If so, it could just be dirty/oxidized ...

I decided to start playing around with using a LS-2 for combining the rick-o-sound signals.
But I'm pretty convinced that a previous owner has been having a go with the electronics.

Looks absolutely stunning so far!

I use a EBS Reidmar and 2 1x12 EBS Classic cabinets nowadays.
Used to have a Mesa 400 (non +) and a Marshall DBS 4x12. But carrying about 110kg of bass amp is not my cup of tea anymore.

The EBS rig is perfect for my needs. It's clean sounding and handles both the bass and any pedals I use without ...

Fantastic job! That looks great.

Welcome Eric!

Nice looking family there! Love the look of the greyglow.

Not done on a 4001, but Led Zeppelin's, "Heartbreaker" features JPJ using tremolo.

Yep! I almost hear sort of a Leslie effect on that one.
Jimmy Page played his guitar though a Leslie sometimes, so maybe JPJ gave it a whirl.


:D
But on topic I'm pretty sure I read that JPJ played through his ...

Wow that truly is an amazing collection of Rickenbackers.
I'm not at all jealous

Thank you guys!

I'm really enjoying the forum. It's a source of endless knowledge :)

Hi Daniel
I like that albums of yours a lot, and just love your bass sound! That really throbs! In fact, I liked it so much, I've just bought your album through Amazon mp3 downloads!


Thanks alot Ash. It's ...

I don't think I ever even seen a 4004 in Sweden. Would love to try one out though.

Hi all!

Noticed that I forgot to formally introduce myself. I was so exited about my 4001 I jumped straight into the basses thread.

So who am I.
Well I'm a 34 year old swede that has been playing since I was 9. Up until a year ago I was touring a bit with smaller/mid-size bands in Europe. Amongst ...

Welcome, Daniel! Nice 4001! My first Rick (Whitey) looked just like yours when I bought it back in 1982. It's a great bass and I still have it. Enjoy!

If it needs a new nut, I'd recommend finding a good luthier that can make one for it using the original as a template. The new 4003 nuts are little ...

Congrats, and welcome . . . yes; the (aged) white/black trim style sure has a special allure to it.

It looks to be in really good shape, too -- true? How's the neck?

It's in great shape. A few dings and bangs but nothing out of the ordinary on a 37 year old bass :)

The neck is actually a lot ...
