Description
Specially designed as a direct replacement for standard Rickenbacker® 4001/4003 bass guitars this pickup and surround will fit directly onto your Rick without the need to drill any holes. Fitment to non-Rickenbacker models may require holes to be drilled or the pickup cavity to be enlarged.
The chrome parts are chromed plastic and precise replicas of the actual RIC surrounds.
The pickup is my own design single coil which is very similar in tone and performance to the original. The 8.4k version is a very close replacement sonically for the original, while the 12k version has a slightly hotter signal with slightly higher mids.

I bought this pickup (and the one for the bridge, you’ll find the same review because I was really happy with it) to modify a bass I got on the internet. I got the version without a cover. Needless to say, the sound improved a lot. I had it installed by a luthier who lives in my city, and he was impressed too. Good sound at a fair price.
