Reissue Horse Shoe Pick Up wanted...

[kiramdear]

I could get by with just the surround with a standard pickup ... it'd go to hiding the bridge pickup goofiness on my modded 1973 4001 FG.

Gee, Gary, that sounds like a bass I saw once ...

However, I have sensed a little flexibility in their attitude on this sort of thing towards restorations in certain cases. It's always worth dropping them a line with the serial number and details of your instrument, and even a small picture. If you explain that you got it in this condition and want to bring it back to stock, you might be in luck if it's Christmas and the planets are aligned correctly. If they say no, at least they'll say it nicely. If they say yes, I'd buy a lottery ticket also, because your luck's in.

Hi Gareth & thanks for your answers....Well now Im 100% shure that some of the previous owners has replaced the Horse Shoe whit either a 80´s or 70´s high gain...In fact it disturbs me a lot that some Sticky Fingered person has messed whit this beautey...I want the bass stock again...Man I hate those modmaniacs that can keep their clumpsy fingers away.
Anyway I have e-mailed RIC about this subject and explained my situation...so if Lady Luck is on my side who´ll knows...maybe this will be very good in the end.
Best Frank.
