Actually,the "only one pickup connected" puzzzled me as well, as I've only gotten what I consider the "vintage" tone with both pickups and the .0047 cap in-circuit.

Re: Unwanted Hiss
Well Christmas day arrived and after helping the children out with their presents,i turned my attention to my present the Ampeg BA115 combo.Firstly i had bought some new Rotosound strings so after restriging the bass,i pluged into the amp and started to find a good Ric sound.
Thanks to two pieces of advice from Joey, about the position of the amp & disconecting the 1" speaker (which i did) the amp and my Ric 4003 sounded good together.Then i started to think about the sound i wanted, being a big Chris Squire fan i messed around trying to get a Squire sound and then i thought there where to many different factors between Me & my bass setup and Chris and his setup for me to get even a slight match.And even IF i managed it i would only be a very pale version of the original.
So i messed around with bass & amp and found a nice Ric sound that i like,So all in all i nice Christmas day Thank you all for your help & advice.
