Tell it ! Some tunes have a good bass part and some songs are a recording experiment that turned out nice . I like rock .

Or, seal off one hole and use 3 16 ohm speakers in parallel . No ports .

some artist-type could paint the paisleys on with a tiny paintbrush . Like a mural, except tiny .

My Wick is around 2000 and has those bronze type frets . When Warwick started the German Team Built basses (was it 2005 ?) the nickel-silver ones were used . Do they sound different ? How about stainless frets on a 'Ray ?

you want a wide-enough cab for your head to look like a normal 'stack'. I would maybe consider the cheapest Eden - they used to make one seriously cheap (no wood, only mdf ) Now i stack 2 Ashdown Rootmaster 15 cabinets . Too slender for your Bassman. side-by side ? grey-silver grill would match a Fender head ... There is no end and I like it like that. rules are made to be broken- rant out ,Gren

I have gone back to stainless D'Addario - more bite

where are the Fender trees cut down anyway ? how many trees want to be cut down ? I planted a maple tree but I probably owe our planet a lot more ...The cheaper Player is my fav.

I PLAYED THE AP PERFORMER PRECISION THIS WEEK AT THE LOCAL STORE. I HAD PREVIOUSLY SEEN A PHOTO OF DUSTY HILL (ZZ TOP) SIGHTING DOWN THE EDGE OF THE FINGERBOARD SO I LOOKED AT IT FIRST. THE NECK HAD MORE CURVE ON ONE EDGE THAN THE OTHER. SO IT PLAYED LIKE A TWISTED NECK WITH HIGH ACTION. IT DID SOUND VERY CRISP ON TOP THROUGH A TRAYNOR 200 WITH 4 KT-88 TUBES !!!! HEY- THIS AMP BEAT MY OLD MARSHALL MAJOR ! THE SALES GUY WENT ON ABOUT AMERICAN QUALITY AND I LET HIM SPEAK HIS PEACE. THE ENSENADA, MEXICO PRECISION WAS (IN THIS VISIT) BETTER. HARD CASE -$ 100

- had an ALTAIR attenuator that softened the beginning of each note too much; either gtr or bass.

I have that 15w Pro Jr. as well paul ! It is louder than than I ever play my sterio. My Yamaha sterio amp has 85 watts RMS each side - the power of two Twin Reverbs !!

Are they handmade in Finland ?

I noticed my early Jaguar Bass (Japan) had a spring-loaded battery connector . If I knocked on the body it would crackle . A clip-on connector is what stays tight.

I like these 4003 basses. I still miss my first 4001 (Mapleglo with checkered binding )

I wonder if the newest 4003 sounds or feels much different ?? This Jetglo 4003 was a great bargain. A new one will cost almost $2000 /I miss my old Mapleglo and want another one.

I had a 1971 VW van that color. Is the heater enough warmth for a UK winter ?

A car windshield will block most of the mids and highs. The PA would need to go side-to-side . Or people should park sideways ?

Also add a Warwick . They are different.

Didn't Chris use that 100 with Yes ? With inverted 412 Fender cabinet ? He also had a Marshall 100 head on a Sunn 612 when he played Birmingham, Huntsville, and Atlanta. The sound man had him cranked up plenty !! (my Bassman was a humble 50 ) This head sounded good , but a 100 Ampeg V4 was more good.

Eelectric guits are much louder .

Thanks ! I just taped it with my 30 year-old Nakamichi BX-100 cassette deck. This beats the single and is a lot more distinct. Is this a pick or not a pick ?

They look great ! I would worry that at a loud gig the head might slip off . Could it be leveled with some bracket or strap ?

There is a Dutch band called Bettie Seveert that makes some good pop-rock. I have several albums and the bass player gets an great Precision sound . I would like to hear them live.

If I put a Thunderbird pickup closer to the bridge, leave the Precision pickup in, and wire them in parallel ... would the Tbird pickup be there but no louder ? I would want some raunchy mids added to the P sound.

I would see the Stones in both Nashville and Atlanta . The Who ...

I heard their finishes were trade secrets not to be revealed . They take a ding without flaking off paint (much). So Jetglo stays pure black without light -colored battle scars.
