Hi, I'm new to this forum. I just bought a Gibson Rd Artist and I have 1 question: on the back plate there's a plastic plug that can be removed, I've removed it and I can see a potentiometer (or something else I don't know) my question is: what it is for ? Thanks

Hi Duffman,

and welcome to the forum

thats the expander sensitivity control.
If you took the board out you would see this on the other side



if you turn the plug you are effectively turning this. Earlier models just have a hole, and you stick a small flat blade screwdriver in to adjust. Changes seem quite subtle to me......

How you finding the RD so far - quite a lot of RD owners here - certainly one of our favourite basses!

Welcome fellow Canuk. Enjoy that RD - they're fun as all hell - the expansion mode (applies to rear pup only) rocks for overdriven chording (I like to use it to take over the rythm gyuitar riff so the guitard can solo).

Thanks for the info. I only got it for two days now but I really think i'ts a great bass. Did someone know how many antique sunburst we're made??
