It is live again. After a day of fun yesterday with some forum buddies, (Paulie and Rich) and other friends. I though about all that this forum as well as the RIC company forum has given me, especially in the value of friendships. I feel it's right to give back to the community has has done so much for me. I can't let a bonehead or two (like from the other day) get under my skin and spoil it for everyone else, including me. The videos are also available.

Yes. Thanx Joey! I did see the 4001 trussrod adjustment video once, but I would like to see it once more before I actually start adjusting.

Thanks Joey! This forum and your site have both inspired and educated me. Things I would have never dreamed of doing are no problem now, between the two sites should say three(Ric Corp. site) I'm a better bassist and Ric owner. Thank you!

Evan never use a hammer to remove the pup covers, an industrial grinder with the 8-inch wheel and 13 amp motor works best.Wear goggles and place the bass in your driveway,its better on a rainy day so the fragments wont fly too far

I can't believe you would suggest something so barbaric.. Oxyacetylene is so much more humane

It's because he's an amateur.

A 13 amp electric motor will never work right:

Thank you so much, Joey, for all the wisdom you have imparted on all of us.

BTW, if you want to make a video demonstrating how to install and cut saddles on a 4003 or a video of how to install a push/pull pot on a 4001C64, I have a couple of volunteers for you!

What a relief! I wasn't sure i was gonna make rent this month! Thanks, Joey! You're a heck of a guy!

Now your bass plays better, sounds better, and looks better!

You'll have to fill me in on how this improves the sound.

Maybe this isn't what rickaddict meant, but with the cover gone, your plucking or picking hand has access to a new section of string for sounds you don't get elsewhere. For my own playing style, that's prime real estate.
