Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Ricksters, I'd like to know who you trust to rewind pickups, to change impedance. I may further desecrate my 4003S to run with a HG at the bridge, wound to 70's specs. Second, what was the impedance range of that vintage Hi-Gain? Vintage HS? Do you reckon a new Hi-Gain wound to that impedance would ...

Tell that to Roger Glover.

Just thoght of a new item. If anyone knows where this actually are available, please post:

Sled-Mounted HB1 pickups (Replacement for 4003 bridge position)

My best sounding Fender-form bass is a solid Black Korina jazz. Sounds better than my vintage reissue Genuine Fender Precision.
So maybe you're right.

The gist being that roasting mahogany
1) is done
2) brings little color change

Might discuss w/'Papa John'.

Back with a newer and sillier idea:

The 4003ST (as in Torrefied)
Roasted Hard Rock maple planks
Dyed Autumn Burst, possibly 100% Black Dye, Oiled finish para la 4004cii
No hardware changes (yet)

Hipshot for the win. Deeper Bass and fuller overall sound, wise choice.

Re: Bangles . . .
Michael (back then Micki) Steele played an Ivoryglo 4001 before being canned from The Runaways.

Identify the bass Hillman plays here:

Re: the 4004, here's my idea . . .
the Darkstar Laredo!
Jetglo 4004, EBONY fingerboard (Bonus points for lacquered, JH), Jazz Bass control suite.
Even streaked Macassar Ebony might be worth a try.

Hello Rickies, I'm hoping someone knows the range of impedance from a pickup such as . . . https://reverb.com/item/67365008-rickenbacker-bass-pickup-70-s?bk=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJqdGkiOiI2ZjJlNDVhZi1jZGE0LTRjNzgtYmNlMy04MjI2NDkxNTM0MzUiLCJpYXQiOjE2ODgzMDkzMTUsInVzZXJfaWQiOiIxMTc3MDAxMiIsInNlc3Npb2...

Any experience with this product?

My Reissue Precision has the Fender version, and volume and resonance changed noticeably.

Thanx, all.

Does not the Boutique page of the RIC website list these?

teader:

email The Halls and ask if that hard maple qualifies.
