Is this a problem from bass to bass or are there bad years in relation to this problem. Would replacing the stock pups with newer/older Ric pups get rid of the problem? It is a 75 4001.

After a quick scroll down I noticed that this topic has been covered. If there are any new ideas please advise otherwise I shall check the acoustic levels as well as the saddles.
Thanks All.

I just purchased a 75 4001 with the same problem on the E string. I have to replace the switch as it has all but froze in its tracks. I do not think that the two are related.
