Push-Pull Installed.... AMAZING!!!

[congerz83]

Just had them installed I LOVE IT!!! Although I don't think i'll ever use the "vintage" setting, it's nice to have it at my disposal.


Thanks to the brilliant bass player/tech Al Payson

Don't say you'll never use the vintage position, I find it quite useful in a band situation.

Awesome mod to have! I've never considered it.

Just finished doing this for a customer in Germany. Great idea.

I bypassed the caps completely in all of my Ric guitars. I'm never going back.

This would be a good time for me to mention that the push-pull switch has recently been upgraded.

It's now a CTS component, like the rest of our pots, with the same taper, value, and construction as is typical on a Rickenbacker guitar. The switch is a SPST action with proper solder lug termination. The overall depth has been reduced so that it will retrofit most older solid body instruments without modification.

That's great news! I'll be after one for a project....

Thanks Mr Hall!

I just heard the price of older larger push-pulls break through the roof

The old one aren't larger actually, just deeper but skinnier. The new units are decidedly more robust and rugged. Furthermore, the old Alpha push-pulls are a commonly available commodity part for anyone that wants the additional DPDT poles that we never utilized. And if someone prefers soldering to those fussy little solder lugs . . . well, make sure your eyeglass prescription is up to date!

I used one of the older push-pulls from RIC and wired a HB pickup for series/parallel. The lugs are crowded but I had no trouble with it.

You probably have no trouble hand soldering this, too, right?

Aw heck, those are easy! I can even hand solder there guys:

Of course, a setup like this certainly helps:

Nice to see the Leica!
