Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Still using TI on my toasterized 4003. But I would love to try low tension Labellas and Optima RB4440 too.

In Italy? Now we are lucky!

Lack of an orthogonal adjustement is the biggest problem

My '98 4003 is "ML" marked, too.
Maybe Mary Long?

I love my Radial JDI (passive).

Hi Beams also on my (two) Cii

Volume pots were 250k

"CIelo" in italian means sky, indeed.

A bridge saddle maybe?

I would have the pickup rewound, to retain originality.

IHMO DR. I love Hi Beams.

I had the older sandwiched Lollar horsie... I hated it! The sound was weak but the bigger problem was the string balance: almost no sound from the G, too much from the E. I thought it was faulty but I bought it brand new. In the end I sold it and came back to a capped, reissue HS that suits very fin...

I am not that famous but I think that the bridge pickup is the keystone of a great rickenbacker sound, instead
"De gustibus non est disputandum"!

CA flat top pickup! It is wound to 8.8k and now the bass sounds clear and solid. Really great pickup!
