    62 Gibson EB0 - 1 humbucker + 1 (dead) JB pickup. What to do?

    I can't offer advice on what pick ups to use, WAY too subjective. I have an old Epiphone Rivoli with the chrome cover mudbucker in it. I replaced the pickup itself with a newer Epi mudbucker because they are a lot brighter sounding than the old ones. Anyway, I am desperately trying to find a...

    Played a 4003 this weekend...

    Being a Fender guy most of my life, I had the same issues with Rics, especially palm muting. I've owned 2 previous Rics but dumped them for the same reasons. I got another one a few years back because I needed "that" sound. So I made a new pick guard using all the original holes & screws...

    Hofner Pickup Height

    The numbers don't matter ! Adjust them so they sound the best. Variations in strings, age of pups (magnetic strength) etc. make them all different. What works on one instrument doesn't necessarily work on another. I have one of the first Club Bass re-issues & they are adjusted about 3/16...
