I'm not stupid, it's my stupid Rickenbacker that's stupid, ok?

Sooooo, spent a fun hour or so the other night taking my 2022 Rickenbacker 4003 apart and checking all the connections, pots etc to figure out why the volume for one of the pickups wasn't working. Put it back together only to find I couldn't get the tone working either.

 

Turned out I was turning the wrong knobs.

 

I've been playing my Gibson EB-2D a fair bit recently, and the volume for the neck pickup is where the tone for the neck pickup is on the Rick. I have now invested in a set of labelled knobs from Rickysounds.

 

This is another reason why I like Precisions.

It’s a learning curve.
