I did try swapping positions. RT sounds nice at the bridge position, but I did not quite like the RC in the neck position. When wired in series, the neck RC overpowers the bridge RT. I could not manage to balance their output by height adjustment.

Also, when wired in series, The RC in the neck ...

Forumite ig55 tells he had the Barto Rick replacement pickup in the the bridge position of a 4004. But he did have a 4003 bridge cover over it.

Actually it had a 4003 route at the bridge position, so it was like installing the Bart on a 4003. All I had to do was to screw the pickup onto the ...

The Bart neck pickup is a split-coil (i.e a P pickup in a Rick cover). The bridge version is a dual-coil. It also comes with a 4-conductor lead so you can easily do coil splitting or series/parallel switching. I used it hardwired in series and it had a nice midrange bark. Not as bright as a higain ...

Thanks... And you got a nice CS over there...

The thumbrest's from Pickguardian. Made to vintage specs. Only 15 bucks, plus 7 bucks for shipping from US to Turkey. I grabbed it right away

Hehehe... Yes, I know they're for looks. I just wanted to see how ancient bass players felt like.

Here's mine...

It arrived yesterday morning and I installed it immediately. I had a gig last night and tried to use it while picking. It was not very practical with a pick, as it was placed too below. It was OK while plucking with the thumb ...

I have used the 760FM set (49-69-89-109) with my 4003 without any issues. After switching from 40-95 Daddario rounds to 49-109 LaBella flats, all I had to do was tighten the truss rods a little bit. Everything was just fine. And the sound was more than fine

It took a while for the Alpha 500K pot to arrive. I installed the P/P pot and the Orange Drop cap. It fitted with no problems. I just cut off the lip at the bottom and it was OK. Now I have both the capped and the uncapped sound from the HS pickup (happy me). Thank y'all for all the help provided

Thanks everyone, for your positive comments.

The album has just been released. Samples from the songs can be found at the "Multimedya" section of our web site:
