What year did they discontinue putting in the bridge pickup capacitor at the rickenbacker factory? Please explain both if they did it different years for the 4001 vs. 4003.

I think it was in the 80's ...

I'd say late eighties. This applies to the 4003 only - the 4001 'ended life' much before RIC ceased fitting basses with the C3 cap.

I believe it was 1986.

As always, I could be wrong.
