In Darkness There is No Choice - Anti Sect

Exactly this, except I drop the volume on the neck pickup a bit. Used to have a 4003 built in '05, which didn't have the Vintage Circuit. Loved the sound of it, but always kind of wished I'd got one with the circuit included. When I bought the current 4003, the VC was included, and I was keen to try it out. Let's just say that it didn't take very long for the VC to be deactivated.

The Years Without Light - GWAR

Played mine yesterday, and did a bit of experimenting with this thread in mind. Yes, the neck pickup's output is less than the bridge pickup, and because of that, it does sound a bit thinner, but still very much a "rounded" sound. The pickup is set as high as I can get it. IIRC, Bass Direct sell Nordenbocker's.

Aint No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Miniature Railways - Deviated Instinct

These Boots Are Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra

Who's Going to Drive You Home? - The Cars

Looks interesting. Especially when it's developed a few more models.

Another recommendation for a dedicated recorder, like the Zoom mentioned, but there are others out there. I have a Tascam DR-05, which does the same thing, records onto a micro SD card, so easily transferred onto a computer and shared to the rest of the band.

Bestiality - Phil Jupitus (to the tune of Sexuality by Billy Bragg)

Looked at the Nordstrand, but then I have a set of Gemini WaveRider's in the Walnut Faker in the avatar. Very nice sounds from them. Rickenbacker Bass Pickups (geminipickups.co.uk)

It should have the Push / Pull pot on the Tone control, is that pushed down or up? I use mine with both pickups on, but the neck volume turned down a bit. Sounds plenty ballsy to me. Plus, the neck pickup is reknown to be a bit weak for some reason. You could look at replacement pickups, Gemini Pickups in Wales do a couple of variants, hand wound & RWRP. Nice. There's also the Nordstrand Rickenbocker.
