Rickenbacker Basses / 4001 pickup question
« on: June 05, 2010, 10:37:29 PM »
After playing bass since 1979, I just bought my first Rickenbacker, a 1979 4001 Fireglo. Christ why did I wait so long???
There is a huge volume difference between the 2 pickups. The bridge pickup is big and robust while the bridge pickup (the one under the massive chrome cover) is hollower sounding, what I was expecting, but the output is about 1/2 the volume.
Is this normal or do I need some rewiring work?
ALso, is there a resource for vintage parts? The one I bough came without the massive chrome pickup cover.
