Re: New 4003 Bass Pup Question

...It is safe to come out of your shelters, now. All is right with the World; the sun shines, the birds sing, young Maidens are laughing.... I received the CORRECT size 3/32 Allen Wrench, and I can now raise or lower the pole pieces on my bass pickup AT WILL! Almost a month after I placed my order a...

Re: New 4003 Bass Pup Question

I will feel deprived, and CHEATED and life will not be worth living if I am not able to turn the pole pieces with the Allen wrench that I await. Why OH WHY did they/would they send me the wrong size? Screw gauge tells me nothing about the wrench... I have to wait...worry. WHAT IF the pole pieces do ...

I will be stressed"

Re: New 4003 Bass Pup Question

Thanks Jeffrey, I figured that about the movement in the frame--- Haven't gauged the allen wrench that was provided (I have a screw gauge around here somewhere...) WHY would RIc send the wrong wrench? It seems that the pole pieces are allen-keyed, just a larger size than they shipped. Does anyone th...

Re: For you SVT fans.... a holy grail of sorts!

Hmmm..wonder what the S designates- I'm pretty certain that the N version I had was also 60 watts.

I saw a very good condition and amazing sounding SB-12, THEY have a mic connector between head and speaker cab.
WIld!

New 4003 Bass Pup Question

My first Rickenbacker Bass- please advise, thanks- I was curious to see the adjustment offered in the pole pieces of the bass pup- The manual states that thye are easily adjustable with the supplied 3/32 Allen- After I found my wrench!- I found it does NOT fit the pole pieces-too small. Further, the...

Re: For you SVT fans.... a holy grail of sorts!

That looks pretty mint. The "S" designation was more wattage I believe than the B-15N?? The head appears wider to me than I remember my B-15N (early 70's IIRC) or other B-15's I've seen. THe Reissues would cut it, but the original models would have a hard time cutting through the mix today...

Re: For you SVT fans.... a holy grail of sorts!

Topic?? The topic is amplification, and life itself, so it's tracking fine. :!: Sounds like a bad trip/vibe with that amp, if I may revert to the late 60's so my way would be to move on, there are others. To each their ZOne, but the "Rush" logo would mean nothing to me. The amp would if it...

Re: What do you polish your Rickenbacker bass with??

I always get an urge for coconut cream pie after I'm done with it. mmmmm. Coconut Cream pie... The manual says to use ONLY the RIC polish cloth because it is "specially treated" and others might mar the finish... Truth there, actually special-treated with something RIC likes, or as is my ...
