This is the MoMark. 9 lbs in it's bag and LOUD! Not quite the same as ROS thru two Mesa set ups (M6 Carbine combo and Big Block 750-412 cab) but much less to worry about. With this set up, when it's done, I'll be able to EQ/set level for each pickup and split effects. photo.JPG Love this forum, love...

Not yet, I had to purchase the amp and test it first with a bass that is wired for stereo (a passive modified 86 Charvel-Jackson 3b I use for recording). I did my tests and the amp passed with flying colours. But yes I will be wiring it Bass pickup vol-tone Tip/Treble pickup vol-tone ring/grounds to...

EmanuelBassist V63.jpg Thanx again John! you have helped me out a number of times. I had thought they would be more valuable having become harder to find and with some players (mostly guitarists) preferring them. If a hot toaster is only worth what I can buy a 7.4 for from pickothericks then I'll j...

I have a 92 V63 4001 and I'm not wild about the hot toaster in it. I unwound a hi-gain in another ricky bass to about 7 or 8K and really like it in the neck position. What should I sell a hot toaster for? I want to replace the hot one in the V63. P.S. I love the hot horseshoe though. Thanx Manny.

Hey guys, this is somthing I sent PM to a cat who has been helping me out with a hi-gain, Vol, Vol, Tone/vintage tone pull pot in a 4004L. Perhaps some of you could weigh in.Thanx, Manny. Hey John I finally got the time to put that bass together right (4004L with hi gains and vintage tone push/pull ...

Hey guys, I put some guitar bridge position hi-gains in my 4004L this weekend. I gig'd the bass without pole pieces (because I could not find any yet). Will stainless steel ones work? (I would prefer black ones with more ferite content) I know that I'll need them because there was some serious balan...

Hey John. I did the work and the switch works but my tone knob did not, it does nothing until it is backed off all the way where it sends the whole signal to ground and you hear nothing. Its probably a ground problem somewhere, I shielded the cavity (on the gig the bass was dead quiet) and something...

Thank you! Let me apologize in advance of some of this is redundant or stupid. (For clarity all references to pot lugs are based on the Fender diagram for a American Jazz from Fender’s site). Let me word this in a way that will verify that I understand you: The neck pickup is wired to the middle lug...

I really need some help here! I am the proud owner of a 4004L, I like the softer styling and simple layout of the 4004L but much perfer the classic Rickenbacher single coil tone. With that in mind I've purchased two guitar bridge position hi-gains, two 330K pots and a vintage tone pull pot with .004...

Dane was kind enough to provide me with this info Emanuel, First off, the poles on a high gain bass pickup will not line up perfectly with the strings on a 4004 and the poles will be in the way, especially with aggressive playing. For optimum string coverage, use bridge position guitar high gains in...

Thank you Bruce, that’s pretty much everything I need to know to get started. I’m going to get an order in for some guitar hi gains/250K pots in right away because I can’t leave ANYTHING alone (drives my wife crazy-like the time I “reliced” a perfectly good fender RI jazz, how stupid! It sold really...

Thanx man, I do that. UPDATE: bass ordered!

Hi my name is Emanuel. I am a bassist from Los Angeles. I have scoured this site regarding hi gains in a 4004L. I'm going to order out of stock a MG 4004L (first Ric in a long time). I plan to immediately go VVT 1000K. I really prefer the 4001/4003 sound but like the styling and simplicity of the L,...
