Just got a new 4003. Action seems a bit high and the string gauge seems huge, is this normal?
Especially the E looks like a cable!
Measuring the neck with a straight edge I can see a small amount of relief.
What gauge should be on here? Any advice on going to flat wounds? I have the McCartney ...

Pulled the trigger, new 4003 Fireglo - Flat wounds
Cannot believe I just did that! Just ordered a new 4003 Fireglo.
Big McCartney/Beatles fan and cannot afford the exact reissue and I love the look of the 4003 binding.
Planning on going to flat wounds. What gauge and brand will be safe/best and not require a neck adjust?

4001 vs 4003 ???
Hello,
New to Rickenbacker's basses. Looking to get the Fireglo McCartney vibe and wondering if the 4003 has advantages structurally over the reissue 4001 models? I for sure want to be under 2k, so I don't even think the reissue is an option right?
