    Ric Purists Gonna Lynch Me! ;)

    Update 5/11 - some updated pics and info here (post within this thread): Ric Purists Gonna Lynch Me! ;) So I picked up this killer, vintage 4001 recently. Needed some minor TLC.... First and foremost, the neck had a good bit of relief in it. I tried doing the proper 4001 adjustment method...

    MATTE Black Friday (NBD)

    Just got this in the mail today and thought it was fitting for Black Friday.. I removed the pickup cover and installed a treble bezel, and I set it up in DGCF. Loving it so far, super punchy and grindy. Sounds great with OD and I'm digging it with a pick. The whole bass has more of a...

    Help! Is this a real Rickenbacker?!?

    Hello fellow bassists! First post on the forum, so thanks in advance for all your help and support :) As most of us do, I've been dreaming of owning a Rick 4001/4003 bass since I started playing. An ad came up on Offerup near me, and my jaw dropped. Not many details were given; the screenshot I...

    Rickenbacker 4003 switching jack

    The switching jack in my Ric 4003 has been unreliable for as long as I've owned the bass. The least amount of movement on the plug causes one of the pickups to cut out or the output level to drop significantly. As a result, I haven't been able to trust the bass enough to use it live. Anyone have...

    Chris Squire's pre-mod Ric (video)

    I assume this video has been shared before, although a cursory search didn't turn it up. The Ric looks like it hadn't yet been covered with stickers and shaved down. No shortage of snarly attitude, though. I got a chuckle out of the coiled cord. I hated those things! The bass is well...

    Looking for the exact PMS/RAL color of a Ric Chris Squire signature

    I am planning to have my 4001v63 refinished as its current jetglo finish keeps being sticky and attracting a lot of dirt. In fact it is so sticky I don't play it anymore (there's also a 4003JG here, but the v63 sounds much better/stronger/deeper/growlier) Does anyone here know the exact color...

    New Ric Tone

    Hello, I bought a Rickenbacker 4003s last year and I’ve been sort of let down. I am having trouble trying to get the classic Ric growl, using the treble (vintage) push/pull knob just makes it sound thin in my opinion. I use a Peavey Headliner 600 head, could it be the amp thats the issue? I...

    Pickup height settings on Ric 4003S.

    Just replaced the bridge cover with a nice cove bezel. Of course this changed the pickup height and I didn’t measure it before removing. Is there a standard set of measurements from the top of the pickups to the bottom of the strings for the bridge and neck pickups for that classic ric sound?

    Vintage tone pull switch on a Ric

    Been jammin on my new 4003S, getting used to controls and finding tones. I quickly notice when the bridge pup is in vintage mode, the bridge and neck pup are about the same volume. Vintage off and the bridge is considerably louder than the neck. Does this sound about right? Does the neck pup...
