Alternatively, if it is a mono cable, then perhaps the owner only likes the treble pickup and uses the selector as a kill switch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried it with any of mine. Nope - if you plug into both, you may get no output: Plugging a jack into the mono output connects both channels together. Plugging a mono jack into the stereo socket connects the jack socket ring to the sleeve of the jack, which is gnd. Therefore everything is connected to ground. Incidentally, Ric did do one model of guitar with dual-mono outputs rather than the normal mono/stereo; I think it was a 620 variant.

CameronJ Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Does anyone have any idea why Rickenbacker’s rear pickup housing is so absurdly large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assembly originally came from a lap steel guitar and the cover was actually a pair of horseshoe pickups which also formed a wrist rest. In the 70s the horseshoe pickup was replaced, but the surround was retained. Rickenbacker teleased a subsequent model, the 4004, which had no surround, but customers kept buying the 4003. So, the reason it is so big is because that is what customers want! Edited August 30, 2019 by prowla 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
