If you're still sending out the schematic, I would love one (elfuggufle@gmail.com). I've got a 360v64. I installed the .0047 cap a few years ago and I love it. Every once in a while though I'd like to be able to bypass the cap for certain applications, and so I want to add a push-pull knob. I am unsure where I can procure a push-pull knob -- I didn't see any in the Rickenbacker boutique. Anyway, I'd really love to look at the schematic and to also know how to incorporate the push-pull knob, and also where to find the knob for purchase. Thank you very much! |

Remember: on two-pickup instruments, the mod only switches the .0047 in-line capacitor to the bridge pickup in or out of the circuit. For this mod on a two-pickup guitar, please refer to the current production 4003 bass schematic in the Service -> Schematics -> Guitar Schematics tab. Pull up the schematic for the 4003, Stereo, With Vintage Switch, and use the bypass wiring in the dash box on a guitar. Use a push-pull pot out of the boutique, if it is available. When adding the push-pull pot to a guitar, I like to install it on the 5th knob for aesthetics, although I understand the dichotomy of installing a push-pull that affects the bridge pickup on a pot that trims the neck pickup. But that actually fulfills the function of the fifth knob: when you switch in the capacitor for the bridge pickup, it will lower the output slightly due to the capacitor functioning as a high-pass filter, so you can in the same motion re-balance the neck pickup to the bridge pickup, the function for which the fifth knob was originally designed and envisioned. |
