It's not my youtube movie, but get similar results with my 4003 + YYZ pedal

I have good result with a overdrive with tone control/clean blend like the EBS Billy Ultimate. Or a Sansamp BDI or YYZ pedal. It really 'opens' it up. For example:

Thomann has this one on sale: https://www.thomann.co.uk/ebs_billy_sheehan_ult_sign.drive.htm it can be a heavy drive but with the blend it can also be subtle. And with a good built in compressor

Same experience, love my 40th P. But came across a used EMG Geezer pickup and its a nice improvement. But the stock PU sounds good too!

Great bass, congrats! It is my #1 and have it about 19 years. If you ever want to upgrade the pups check https://tombrantleyrewinds.com/geddy-lee-jazz-bass-pickups Great upgrade on my GL signature.

A billy sheehan ultimate drive?

I have had quite a few but my EBS Multidrive is still on my pedalboard... but it's not new for sale anymore. Maybe check out a EBS Black Haze 2 or Billy Sheehan ultimate. Both with a clean blend edit: Sansamp VT bass DI for character and balls

First; nice bass! Never underestimate a HB ;-). There is a difference in DC resistance and resonant frequency. https://bartolini.net/product/76dl5c/ https://bartolini.net/product/dl5cbc/ I don't know how this translates in the actual sound.

They already solved it on some '80 4003's, just two screws. See for example https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/1987-rickenbacker-4003-fireglo, My '87 4003 has this too.

I have updated my 40th precision with a EMG Geezer pickup. Nice improvement in sound and potmeters are included 🙂

Hi, I'm thinking about ordering a Rickenbacker 4003 at [url="http://www.coda-music.com"]www.coda-music.com[/url]. Does somebody have experience with this shop? Or does somebody know another shop who has Rick's and ships outside UK? Thanks! Kind regards, Jasper

Hoi Simon! Met mij gaat het prima, met jou ook? leuk, nog een Nederlander! Tja, na al de enthousiaste verhalen over de Wizards heb ik een setje 84's besteld, ik ben erg benieuwd hoe ze klinken in mijn GL. Grt. Jasper

I just ordered a set of 84's for my Geddy Lee. I'm looking forward to hear them!

Hello, I'm Jasper, and just registerd to the forum . I found the forum with google, i was searching for information about Wizard pickups. They might replace the stock pickups on my Geddy Lee jazz. I'm playing bass for about 5 years. Favorite bands; Rush, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Foo Fighters and Wolfmother. My gear; Fender Geddy Lee Yamaha BB3000A Peavey T-MAX Mesa/Boogie 1516BE Thanks for reading, and i'm sure i'll enjoy the forum.
