I'm not a wiring expert, but i'll just spend some more time with it, and see what i can figure out. There's no noise or anything in the output.

Problem is that turning the pots doesn't have any effect at all. No volume increase/decrease, no nothing..

Okay. Good to know :) Can you tell me which of the jack holes are mono, and which are stereo? Also, the knobs don't seem to be working. Is that common problem?

Well mine doesnt even say mono or stereo. Is that pressed into the jack plate, or written on with some kind of paint that could be scraped off?

Here's a great website. It explain the differences in the beginning. Invalid Link Removed

I read the the wire channel is supposed to be something like this. At least it's not supposed to be a straight channel. The Ric-O-Sound thing is another issue. It doesn't say that on the jack plate no.

No no. You got me wrong, i'm not trying to remove the tailpiece. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] You see the chrome "bridge" on one of the pictures, but not on the other. I don't know what that piece is called.

awesome :bassist:

My english is not brilliant, but you mean the white plate with volume knobs and such on it right? I remember when i removed it, something being written underneath in a pencil like writing, i dont remember what i said though.

Thank you all for your quick response. I am now certain it's an authentic Rick, and i'm very pleased! Thanks a bunch.

Yeah sry 'bout the pics. Made a mistake, they should be up and running :) It sounds pretty geniune, though i dont have a whole lot to compare it to. I just recently started looking into it.

Hi. I bought a Rickenbacker 4001 from january 76. I am a little confused about the white line around the body of the bass. I thought i was supposed to be checkered, and also about the tuning screws. Sry about the grainy and dark pics pics. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired...
