Finally done. Guyker adjustable width bridge installed, rebuilt bridge mini-humbucker, bridge pickup ring, brass nut, sidejack, 3 vols and one tone. The adjustable bridge really helped the string coverage for the bridge and neck pickups but the E on the bridge is still weak. The intonation screws on the Guyker bridge are way too long and there's no usable range because the screws do not go through the saddle like every other bridge. So I had to go to ACE Hardware and buy shorter screws to get a usable range.
I get that SD wanted a bright and loud pickup for the neck position of a 32in scale Rickenbacker bass but in a 34in scale instrument it's a bit much. Even with a 250K pot the neck is still the brightest position and a 100K pot would probably be better. Strangely in my Rickenbacker bass this pickup just gets lost even with 500K pots. So there's something about the position on a 34in scale instrument?
