Why do you think Geddy switched 4001's?

He had a 1974? Pickup close to neck, white plastic surrounding the Badass

Then he got a post 74? Neck pup moved further back, no more white surround for the bridge?

Here's two links, pause at the times provided.

Some of his methods are unreal but work unreal , his an amazing guy.He knows about Rickenbackers.I cant say why Geddy stopped playing them but i would think that once he picked up a Fender J it was all over for the RICKI & thinking to himself how could he have played them basses for so long !!

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. This isn't a "why a jazz,stein,wal" or a "ric or jazz" topic.
