    Ric, which pickups?

    I can't speak to the other replacement options, but I've got a 4003 with the Ric HB1 humbucker in the bridge and it sounds pretty awesome. It's very very silent and has a great thick, warm tone, and it'll thump too but retains the overall Ric tone pretty nicely. I gig an SVT and practice with...

    Orange Terror Bass 500 Limiter and "pop": anybody get theirs working right?
