Rickenbacker 4003 pick-up pole pieces?

How many of you that have a post 2006 Rickenbacker 4003, adjust the pole pieces to the radius of the fretboard?

I adjusted the poles of the front pickup to 10/64" & the poles of the bridge pickup to 13/64" respectively.

 

When I checked mine, the A & D string poles were between 3/64" & 4/64" further from the strings than the E & G.

It did occur to me that on my jazz bass, thunderbird etc, that the pole pieces are not adjustable, there for not the same distance from the strings either.

 

Hmm, admittedly, I am very ignorant of pickup construction.

I feel like the bass sounds a little more " tone-ful " to me anyway. Unless of course it's a placebo.
