Never had an issue getting really low action on my Rics using the bridge and neck adjustment only , only time I touch the nut is when the string gauge is a bit too tight , when the nut grabs the strings, you can normally achieve low action with bridge and neck adjustment , once you start adjusting the nut, it is easy to screw it up , you can't put material back on there, look at adjusting the neck and bridge over a few days to get the action you want, get it near let the neck settle for a couple of days then, do finer adjustments let it settle and so on that way you can get exactly what you want , you need patience with Ric adjustment, hope this helps you. Been playing Rics for over 40 years now, they are superb when you get the set up right.

Change the power supply on your pedal , I had a dug pinnick pedal was noisy as hell with the supplied power adapter , purchased a higher quality power supply, Silence!!!

Small touch of superglue is enough, use a good one small blob either side hold the nut firmly for a couple of mins you don’t want any over spill of the glue so minimal amount. The string pressure alone will hold a nut on so there is no need for over kill.

been playing Rics for 40 plus years never had a Nut come off ever.

Totally fake. all the way.

Thanks Dave.

My 2023 Autumnglo is all over satin finish including the fretboard, it feels fantastic, one of the slimmest Ric necks I have owned.

I am well aware of all that , I have been playing Rickenbacker for over 40 years and owned over 40 of them, The modern Horseshoe still sounds amazing it hotter has more bark than the high gain on standard 4003's , I personally love the sound, after all I am designing the sound for me not someone else's choices, The Rickenbacker 00031 Toaster sounds fantastic, sounds great on its own , I love the sound the feel and look of my 4003s . I don't need any other pickups. Could not be happier with it.

No, I wanted Rickenbacker pickups, I wanted this bass to sound as original as possible.

Smoother edges, about the same weight, they are also mono output, perfect for the V63 conversion Project. They still have the vintage tone circuit. great basses to play.

No, done the work myself.

Rickenbacker 4003s Fireglo , 2023 upgraded to V63 spec, Horseshoe and Toaster, vintage plate and truss rod cover, single truss rod skunk stripe and new bridge. great bass to play.

My Rickenbacker 4003s Fireglo 2023, upgraded with Horseshoe and Toaster pickups, single truss rod, new bridge and skunk stripe in Fireglo.

My Rickenbacker 4003 special edition with checkered binding, Autumnglo 2023 single truss rod new bridge and skunk stripe, entire bass is satin including fret board. the neck is sublime on this bass, flat D thin back to front.

Hi Clarky, No I did it myself, the toaster was impossible to get hold of in UK, had it sent from New York took 3 weeks to get !! sounds fantastic though.

Autumnglo, Jetglo lol.

My 4003s 2023, V63 spec, love this instrument, neck is really flat D profile so easy to play this one. Sounds fantastic with Toaster and Horseshoe. Has the new single truss rod , new bridge and skunk stripe in Fireglo Finish.
