Re: Too many Rickenbackers too little time
And yes, I do not believe the 4000 (one pickup) basses ever had the capacitor inline. That is a 4001/3 item.
Re: Too many Rickenbackers too little time
As far as I know, that is correct. No bass-cut cap in the 4000's.

Correct indeed.bassduke49 wrote:I think the cap in question is valued at .0047 (point oh oh) -- two zeros, not three. Am I right? I know there are two other caps in there that are valued at .047.

Is it a refinish or a time capsule?

Beautiful! One of the cleanest I've seen!
Re: Too many Rickenbackers too little time
That's drop-dead gorgeous!!!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: Too many Rickenbackers too little time
Wow! Gorgeous bass, Rod. And that's a sweet looking 4000, Jeff! Not often I see a straight red like that.
