Later versions of the 4003 would include a push/pull pot to engage this replaced capacitor.
Rickenbacker also improved the dual truss rod system and altered the electronics by removing the bridge pickup capacitor and improved 'hotter' pickups, which are much better balanced than on the 4001. Of course this gave it a rather more substantial feel, so the new designation was justified. The 4003 was designed to take care of that by adding extra meat to the whole neck. As the neck was very slim there was actually very little wood around this cavity, headstock breaks were always a danger (personal experience here) and neck bowing could be a problem. The truth is, the 4001 had a few design problems - particularly with the truss rod adjustment cavity at the headstock.
