I was hoping someone might be able to send me this one without weighing out for the whole book ;-))

Yeah, I tried that one and wasn't particularly happy with the way it sounded. Thanks anyway.

Can anyone help with the tab or score to the above please.
It's only the mid to end of the chorus I need help with, but if anyone has the whole song I would be grateful.
There are a few videos on You Tube only one of which is any great help, but I can't really get to grips with what he's doing.

Just followed it up with PE @ Glastonbury. Great stuff.
An interesting gig as a bass player I would I imagine!

Just watched this on iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed it. A fascinating insight into the history of PE. I think even Chuck D is mystified as to how Flavor Flav managed to stay in the group, especially with Prof Griff around!

Now sold.

Sorry. Just noticed the guff.
The topic line was correct and the text below was not.
Amended.

They are the Ernie Ball 1699 Nickel Wound Slinky bass guitar strings.

I have a brand new set of Ernie Ball custom gauge Roundwound strings.
No outer box, but the strings are still in their individual sleeves.
Sizes 55, 75, 90, 110. Long scale.
£10 plus £2 shipping.

Does anyone here use the On Song app?

It scrolls through lyrics in real time as you play the song, that part I have seen, but I'm lead to believe there may be an add on for bass lines? If so, can anyone give me an idea how the add on works.

Thank you.

The seller is also on Rick Resource where he explains the reasons for sale.

I can't see MK arguing that Mr.G is The Godfather of slap.

Congratulations! and very nice indeed. I can spot 3 pups, but only two knobs and one switch. How do the electrics work?

Thank you.
I've had some time to have a little play now.
The switch is a three-way. The down position is the bridge pick-up, middle is all three pick-up's and up is the middle and neck pick-up's together.
The knobs are volume and tone, but I have to say that tone selector has a huge sweep on it.
Because of the way the pick-up's are mounted, you also get three comfortable thumb rests to vary the tone again.
I'm quite chuffed.

After a long long wait, I finally took possession of the 4004LK today.

I think I may have to dust off the cobwebs from the old V8 and put this through it's paces.

I'll put some more photo's up in the Rickenbacker Porn thread later.

I'm off to make some noise.

They have a letter from Larry Taylor, and videos are available on youtube etc for all to see. I've seen those videos though, and I think its a different bass, there is a distinctive mark on the one at Woody, and it ain't on the bass listed??

Good enough for me.
Rick smells a rat.
'nuff said.

Sorry, yes that the one.

I'm sure others more knowledgable than I will correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me, for it's condition, this seems quite reasonably priced. However, surely the seller would stand to get more for it if they actually revealed who the celebrity owner was whilst the auction was live? Unless the seller has no provenance, then the information is worthless, so why mention it.

Link posted by bassicinstinct below.

If memory serves correctly, I think this particular bass was one of a trio 4004LK's that were ordered by PM Blues in the USA. I believe it is the one on the left in this photo. PM Blues were asking $12,500 per bass, although I think the one in the middle may have been more as it was one of the first in the series and has different pick-up placement.

Yes, quite.
I've seen quite a few of these and the darkness of the oiling varies quite widely across their numbers. I'm not so keen on those as heavy as this. It kind of ruins the shadow effect of the relief.

Thank God for that!!

I expect quite a few similar comments.
The ultimate Marmite bass perhaps?

Yes, I'd like to get a gold one with black lettering.

There is just something about the colour of that fretboard that blends so nicely with the body colour.

I've been playing my 'Ray's pretty much exclusively lately and only rarely go back to my Jazz, but this one ticks all my boxes. YOB, no holes for the ashtray, bound neck, a fraction of the price of an original, lovely colour and shiny shiny!

Thankfully I can't pop over there and pick it up personally.
