As long as it's a stereo-to-mono. I've heard of mono-to-mono which would give you two bridge pickups!

But I agree, there's really no need for the old ROS box anymore.

Sorry about the gratuitous chest hair but it's the only action shot I've got.
A blues festival on the waterfront in a town called Gig Harbour. It was actually a competition culminating in one of the bands bieng sent to Memphis IIRC. My band didn't make it past the first round but it was a nice day for an outside gig on the waterfront anyway.

It's a May 1998... The neck feels the same as my previous '95 4003. A bit on the chunky side, I suppose. I couldn't get the chance to try any slim-necked Ricks, but I pretty much like the meaty necks on the mentioned two. Fits my hand well, and also sounds huge...

It seems that my previous '95 4003 was not as chunky as I thought :mrgreen:

Now I do wonder how chunky Rick necks are like :shock:
