My Ric 4003 copy can only have super long scale strings because of the scale (standard/ long scale strings the thick part of the string doesn't reach the nut). I'm using d'addario super long scale 50-105 which I can only find in round wound, does anyone know where in the UK (or even online) where I can get these in flats?

Yeah, that's what out the doubt in my mind about pots but I assume it's Duncan showing what they would use rather than what is factory standard on the instrument.

Thanks loads for your help. Tried the Ric forum a while back got a load of abuse for having a copy in the first place. Some people just can't get their head around most people not ring able to spend nearly 2k on a bass (mine cost squire bass part ex + £100) although I have no doubt they're worth it! For pickups I'm searching eBay on an hourly basis for someone to sell one off cheaply, missed one the other day for £60 rather than the £220 they are new. Thanks again

I keep finding loads of contradicting information on how Rickenbackers are wired. Pots Some sources have 2x250k and 2x500 other 4x330k. I read that there isn't much difference between 330k and 500k. With 500 being more common to get hold of is this why some people are using these? How much different will putting 250's in there make? Caps Modern Rics now come with push pull on treble tone. I though that it took the 47 cap out of the circuit to add low end but then I read that it is refered to a the 3 cap circuit. Surely if this was the case it would still only have two? Pickups From what I can find the options are between Seymour Duncan, Bortolli and Joe Barden. Real Ric pickups are just too expensive for me and Barden's seem to have the better reviews in terms of sounding closest to the originals. If anybody has any more options the. I'll be happy to listen. It's the bridge pickup that needs replacing more than the neck. I have an Aniversary copy which I'm hoping to mod a bit and get a more accurate sound from. I'm not gonna say a "better" tone cause it's quite useable as is. Anybody who could clear up the above would be a legend. Thanks
