So I guess mine is dead.

I have a 5 wire HB1 pickup that I can't get an ohms reading from.
I've checked continuity on all wires from the ends to the pickup and they are all connected.
I have the blue and ground shield wires together. The black and clear wires together and the red as hot.

I don't know how to send a link. There is still one for sale on eBay and one in the sold listings.

Genuine Rickenbacker 4003 Bass Hi-gain Bridge Pickup Part With Base Plate

High Gain.

$495.00 ? Sold on eBay!
Is that for real?

760FGS Deep Talkin’ Bass Gold Flats – Standard 45-105 just because they look cool on my Mapleglo 87 4003S.

Outstanding beauty!

Just too cool!

For anyone else interested in neck comfort. I have a wrist injury that has limited the rotation of my left hand. I took my 87 4003S to a local violin luthier and had him shape the neck for me. 38mm at the nut. 22mm thick at the first fret. 23mm thick at the 12th fret. This is now my favorite bass ...

Ok. I don't need to sleep anyway.

Again, a special edition pops up out of the blue! Guess I just have to check every day.

How does one find out about new special edition basses? I just saw a 2019 Rickenbacker 4003S JPS Pearlstar. I never heard of this bass but would like to be informed if any special edition basses are being released.

Thanks! It was a bit stressful putting a drill bit to the headstock.

Yes, the narrow spacing is perfect for me too. Right hand finger style is no problem.
