I hadn't realised how hot the MFD pups are. I went to a jam last week with my Fallout Bass (US but I don't think that makes a difference) and it's the first time I've had to dial back the amp settings the house bassist had. It was clipping the amp even on a quarter volume in my preferred OMG mode. Awesome sound from a little bass..

Sadly the red comp stripe jap reissue is no longer with me.......

Moderators may be superhuman but we aren't omnipresent....if someone reports specific posts on the BB thread then it will be looked at. This thread is still open so that 'non-price' points can be discussed - pictures can always be reposted if the pricing request is omitted....

Friendly reminder - 'What's it worth' entries are not allowed, PMing or ebay is your route for this.

Depends whether you want to remain married Ped 😂

Sadly not, there’s a time limit but generally the OP closes the listing (usually after a reminder in my case.....)

Nice one Lozz.

That looks awesome Nick, and I'm not normally a fan of sunbursty type finishes. Recently rejoined the G&L club myself after acquiring this little treasure from Adee.

Sold my 4003 just before XMas. Already getting a hankering for a 4003s.

Cheers Mark, they rarely get pushed above half way on my LM3 or MM500 so they are pretty much babied. Ok, on the basis of the advice so far it looks as if I'm best keeping £1000+ in my pocket and continue to look after them.

Don’t forget maple vs rosewood boards and lemon oil or not to lemon oil ....

Arguably the Precision was one of the most innovative electric bass developments in bass guitar history.....

3 is a good number for shorties..... BTW, there isn’t a 3.5 kB limit, this is 895 kb

...in your opinion? He doesn't seem to have done badly out of it.......I haven't seen any 'BigRedX' signature basses knocking about 😝

I think this subject is far too subjective to be adequately described by a simple exponential or linear function........

To be honest, I've just sold my 4003 after 8 years of ownership; in essence it's just me becoming less tolerant of the ergonomics as I get older and grouchier. I could live with the pup ironware (I put in one of the aftermarket thumb rests/gap cover), the overly clubby neck-headstock transition and the agricultural bridge. With time though I did find the body binding on the forearm an unnecessary inconvenience to me when playing standing. All that said, I may look at a Rick again if the stupid price inflation situation stabilises BUT it would be a 4003S.

Good to see the Marlowe getting an airing. I was once ridiculed for playing Punk finger stylee - I answered with a single finger...... I can remember 'Babylon's Burning' being a bit of a challenge finger plucking.

Ditto, got buggered by M1 closures between 35 & 37 on the M1 coming back from Hudders......always the bloody same!

Due to Covid, last night was the first gig of the year with Glam Fever.....for some reason I had some serious bass face going on 😂

My pair of MB NY121s are coming up to 10 years old now. I love em to bits, can’t fault the sound, nice and light and, most importantly, fit perfectly in the back of my 5dr Mini. So, am I being overly cautious in considering replacing them due to age? I always have back ups in terms of bass, amp and other paraphernalia but don’t have space to double up on cabs. I have been looking at replacement to pacify my paranoia but I’m struggling to find a double cab solution in 12” that are about the same size so would still fit. So in in terms of questions; Any suggestions for suitable candidates? Am I being daft in looking at replacing as they are still performing without problem? If I just look at getting new NY121s, are the new ones as good as the Italian ones that I currently have?

Appears you've been lucky then. In my neck of the woods a discussion on set list is fairly common. There's a reason for going niche - I've never been so busy......
