I flipped the bridge pick up surround as suggested. And I put on the Optima flats. It's looks, plays, and sounds pretty sweet :)
A shout out to "Strings by mail". Great customer service. I found them by searching about flat wound ric bass strings here, or it could have been BassIQ.
I broke the "A ...

i just ordered these, a couple bucks less than the TIs, and seemed like they got good reviews ...

It’s here!!!!

I want to try out the TI flat wound strings. Assuming the nut on my bass is stock what pack of TIs should I order?

I’ll flip the bridge bezel when I restring it.

Thanks John

Thanks for replies, advice, and compliments
I did not know about flipping the pick up around.
That's why I love this place!
I will report back after it arrives

Guitar player here ... just bought a rick bass ... https://reverb.com/item/44740419-2020-rickenbacker-4003s-natural-with-ohsc
My Dad and Son play guitar too, so I was thinking one of us could play bass instead of all three playing guitar at once. Gonna need a living room friendly amp for it, any ...

I played a 75th anniversary 360 guitar over the weekend the neck was really deep front to back. ... I liked it. Are most of the necks on anniversary editions similar 330/360 ?

I still want the heartbreaker 350MC. The 350 with a wide neck, thick body, 24 frets from namm a year or two ago.

I also recall a photo from some years back of some 3/4 size bodies stacked up, I would love to see the finished guitars those became.

Thread contributors ...Thanks for all the idea's so far ...

What kind of music do I play ... I just had lesson this evening. We attempted to learn and improvise over James Burton's Working Man Blues. I like most rock from the 50's up to about 2000, classic country, if thats a thing, & blues ...

Thanks for the reply. I like the idea of splitting the humbucker. Not sure about the direct connect. Will it still sound like a Rick? I'm thinking at least one 3 position toggle.

I was thinking Maybe reverse wind the middle pickup to make the neck and middle kind of like a giant humbucker? Then ...

For a old 24 fret 350 ... I have a HB1, and two Hot Toasters. I like idea of two knobs instead of 5. I'm looking for wireing suggestions and ideas. Please provide links to diagrams and specify pot values and cap values.Thanks!

I was disappointed that the 350MC did not materialize as a purchasable product last year. Instead of the 350MC I'll continue to play my '86 350. Btw the fibertop hg pickups on this particular guitar are something special. Back to the 350MC, A RIC 350 guitar in my possession with a wider and deeper ...

Thanks!

I did a quick search but didnt find it right away. What year was the last year for black trim?
Thanks John

The black jb looks thicker than the green one. Illusion? So I read In another thread that the wiring was pretty neat, and varied as they designed the brown model. Is there (a link or) resource where I can read about the different jb wiring schemes?


My 2 cents. ... I would not sacrifice a 350 for ...
