Is this guy in Detroit area?

Thanks to everyone that took the time to share your thoughts. Still not sure which way to go, but I will update you when I decide. It's kind of on the back burner right now; it also needs a refret and I'm hoping to find someone local that can do a Paul W caliber job (I don't want to risk shipping my...

Toaster. [/thread] Jeff, I know from my time on these boards that you are indeed well versed in general Rickery. I have zero experience with toasters. Are the current toasters significantly quieter than higains? I am looking for definition and a certain amount of ballsy-ness. Hoping those two thing...

Hmmm, I would be disinclined to put a toaster on a 4003. It could be that a 3rd party one would work (I have an SD treble pickup n a Ric). But the Ric one is what Ric put on their new Rics, right? And they sound like Rics, right? Paul, what is the reason you would not put a toaster in a 4003? Do yo...

What about having your current pickup rewound and possibly a new magnet? If you feel the pickup has grown weaker over the years it may be that the magnet has lost some power and this could result in a muddy and weak tone. Hi John, this line of reasoning was my first thought of how to deal with this...

The bridge pickup sounds great; loud, full and ballsy, very Rick-like. The neck however; muffled, lacking definition and sign...

My '85 is a fantastic bass!

Ha, that's a good one! That's CLEARLY NOT natural. That was a joke, right?

Hello all, I have a 1985 4003 with the split guard; the truss adjustment nuts are under the pickguard as opposed to being under the truss rod cover. With these type of rods, is it safe to adjust them like a normal Fender style rod, or must you clamp the neck to keep the fretboard from popping off? I...

I have diy Rick neck and bridge pickup microfilm. I give you but I have to kill you. $200 US.

Depth and sustain at Rickenbacker not mahagony, is pine. Knotty. Nech thru systems is for guillotine. Very efficiently. You know saying, if cow is dry milk goat.

We not know electronic background. For $100 US we do electronic background check. A-number 1!

No they not successful. Parents disappoint.
