Rickenbacker Bass

I have an older Rick that belongs to a friend. When it is played, the
strings hit against the rear pickup poles (if that is the proper term).

I could lower the pickup, but I noticed that the front pup poles were even,
about 1/16" raised from the pup body, but equal in height. On the rear
pickup, the outside (E, G) poles are about the same height as the front
poles, but the inside (A, D) are about 1/4" raised above the pickup body.

I am wondering if the poles are adjustable and/or if this is how it came
from the factory. My friend does not know.

The neck relief is OK, but the bridge is way high. Before I muck with it and
lower the bridge, I figured I would see about the pickups before I started
tweaking.

Can any of you guys help me out??

Thanks

Tom McCoskery
