Could be, but the fact remains that practically no one has added the cap after RIC pulled it out in 1985. I don't think the guys at Santa Ana got many complaints about any electrical interference when the cap was gone.

I know of several people who have added the vintage tone thing which now is standard on al 4003's. (Which is the cap with posibility to switch it off)

This topic on RRF is good reading on the cap with technical issues far better explained than I can.

Yep. Thats a great analogy Ilan.Why they even put that choke cap in there is beyond me.

Because there is some kind of electrical interference when you use both pickups which makes a mid-scooped sound. The cap does something with which it does not have this mid scooped sound, but a full rich sound instead, when using both pickups. I very much like the cap. But I seldom use the bridge pickup solo (capped or uncapped).

Wow! Is that a set-neck?

I must say the neck joint is intriguing.

A freind of mine is thinking about bidding and just putting the bare minimum on it to make it playable. He likes "Mojo".

Do you make aluminum sadles for early and pre '73 basses?

Those were the purple years of Midnight Blue... Recent ones are less purple (more like metallic Azureglo).

Both my '86 4003 and my 92 2030 are not purple (and more metallic). My '89 is like Jayme's '89.

[lots of indepth knowledge]

I like humour and find the strangest/absurdest things funny. For me it is funny to see Dale talking about Rickenbackers with a newby status.

The Azureglo color was taken from a 1968 VW color chart.

They usually go for $500-800.

Prices are climbing for the budget Ricks. I have 800 euro in mind for the 2030. And I even saw a couple of 3000's with non original pickups go for 800+ (euro).
