So now you're giving them away?

Take your pick while I'm still in the mood to give them away...

Hey, Joey, thanks. You ain't seen (heard) nothin' yet, haha.

Got any neck position pickups for a '64 4001?

Sure. Do you require a 'toaster'-style pickup (with the six magnetic slugs) or just a 4 pole pickup that can fit in a 'toaster' cover?
Incidentally, can you post some shots of this '64 4001, please?

I am not sure which of the two to put in the bass. The original was removed before my Dad bought it. Any comments guys? And how do I post photos here. I finally have a couple of pics of the bass I can use.

Hey, Jaymi, you never told me how the 'transitional' high-gain performed. Your impressions, please.

If I wasn't bald, I would say that it blew my hair off!! I had to do a little mod to the bass to get it to fit as the height of the pickup gave me a little challenge....that's what dremel tools are for

I am working on getting the pics up...

Let's see if this works...

Wow!
As for the pickup being too tall, I'm a bit surprised - I'm sure I didn't make its bobbin any taller than that on early '70s 4001 treble high-gains, not to mention that I used a genuine Rick baseplate and magnet to mount the pickup on. Maybe the treble p.u. route on your 4003 is a tad shallower than on the early '70s 4001s? I cringe at the thought of taking a dremel to a Rickenbacker instrument...

Javier:
Just curious: what pickup is in the bass position of your '64 4001 now?
I'd go the 'toaster' route, really.

The above 'Wow' was meant at Jaymi's comment on my pickup. This 'WOW!' is meant at the beautiful block binding, Javier. Keep them pictures coming!
As for the second shot, I'm afraid it's not so pleasant a sight, though - your 4001 seems to be in dire need of assistance. Fill us in on the story of this '64 Rick bass, please.
