For the same reason some of us write F*nd*r ...

Allen, I would make the assumption that you can use the same rear #6 x 3/4 OV PH

I will pull them and compare.

Hopefully all this stuff will come in this week, I have a gig this Saturday!

I believe Pat is right. When I added the two end screws to my 5-screw black tailpiece I realized they sit higher off the wood when tight and would need to be long to bite enough maple to be effective. That is what I did.

here is the list of all screws in the 4003

just to keep me focused!

I am ordering some parts from ric today, and I will match them up, and list sizes and model numbers verified and tested true!

hehehehe


this is what I have so far

TUNERS ------------- 16 screws --these come with hipshot--but will find out sizes anyway
TRUSS ROD COVER ---- 3 screws
PICKGUARD--- ------- 8 screws
INPUT JACK --------- 4 screws
BRIDGE PUP SURROUND- 4 screws



BRIDGE UNDER HEIGHT ADJ--- 3 screws
BRIDGE REAR HOLD DOWN ---- 2 screws
BRIDGE ANTI-TAIL LIFT ---- 2 screws
BRIDGE PUP ADJUST -------- 2 screws
NECK PUP ADJUST ---------- 2 screws



also, I ordered some stuff from ebay to compare, and bought some stuff at autozone as well

yes, a little crazy, add and fanatical all at once..... but I only have one rickenbacker! for now.....ehhehhehe always wanted a JG

big al

p/n 05210 SCREW TAP 4 x 3/8 OV PH GOLD (Pickguard) not cheap Ric boutique $2.55 ea


sorry for the confusion

this is absolutely correct, verified by exploded diagrams of the 4003, and on the phone with a RIC service guy, and by my bass 1988 4003 serial number B1-9586

so, PG and TRC verified (guilty as charged, I'm crazy...hehehhe)

the TAILPIECE on mine, all 5 of these screws are TAP #6 x3/4 OV PH---the rear 2 and the front 3 are the same

AND AND AND I have the two extra TAP #6 x 1 inch OV PH to fight the tail lift..anti-tail lift screws add on some models in the late 80's

on mine, the JACK PLATE are a total hack. (will put TRC screws TAP #3 x 3/8 RD PH)
the BRIDGE PICKUP PLATE are PAN, -panhead- not RD -round- as the TRC (TAP#3 x 3/8 RD PH)

and the PG are TAP #4 x 3/8 OV PH ...that is true.



and-----the TUNERS are PAN as well, what should those be? not a big deal, I have these 16 screws coming with the GOLD hipshot tuners....

but what should those be, anyway?

allen


how about this....I think there is only ONE round TRC---they all look like PAN panheads to me

like this....the TRC look all PAN, except one ROUND
the bridge PUP surround looks like all PAN
the tuners , all 16 screws, look like all PAN

forget the JACK PLATE, it is a total hack , tap 3's rounds, but not correct..very skinny -so I will replace all four of those.


making any sense? clear as mud, right?

measured these on my bass.... 4-40 x 1/2, and that is what the ric service guy said, and the part that is on the boutique site.... is screw M/S 4-40 x 1/2 PAN PH sku 05112

NECK PUP ADJ verified

and the BRIDGE PUP ADJUSTING BOLTS are M/S 10-32 x 1 1/4 RD PH sku 05106


so far

TRC
PG
NECK PUP ADJUST
BRIDGE PUP ADJUST3
BRIDGE 3 under 2 rear (same on my 1988 4003)
BRIDGE ANTI-TAIL LIFT 2 (cant find a ric part #for this, but it does measure Tap #6 x 1 inch

these all verify


the only 3 things I need to be sure of---and alot of people told me the part numbers, but I want to be sure......are these LAST THREE ITEMS

TUNER MOUNTING (these come with the hipshots anyway,so)
BRIDGE PICKUP SURROUND--have been told these are TRC round screws
JACK PLATE INPUT JACK----have been told these are TRC round screws


so, I think I got it.....gonna order some parts from the ric site, ordered stuff from ebay, and just want to over all improve the appearance of my 22 year old bass....

even if it means just a little more "BLING" hahahhahahahaha

will take photos as the stuff comes in

You could probably have all screws and existing hardware gold plated quite cheaply if you really wanted to 'bling-it-up' properly....

tru

that brings up the question , what plating ---chrome or black-- was on the original hardware?

remember ... orig my bass was a jg/bt........1988 4003 ... were the screws chrome or black on this model>?


cuz mine are mostly black so maybe someone rattle canned them!

hmmmm
