Seven Days - Corrosion of Conformity

Are you thinking about replacing the tuners on the 735? Even on things like US made Fenders and other £1000+ instruments, the adjustability of the tuners is limited, unless the manufacturer adds components which are designed as "aftermarket" items (Hipshot or Gotoh for example). The tuners on my 4003 are pretty basic affairs.

No settee's were harmed in the making of this picture. 😄

It is indeed, but for me it's down to a number of things... One of them being finding the "right" people who want to write original material rather than doing covers or "blues/shred lead guitarists". Happy to do some covers, but only if they are interspersed in between original songs.

I like the idea of trying to find another band / project, but it's probably just wishful thinking on my part. Could do with playing more and with "constructive" practice.

My lad is a fan, but he was saying that their new drummer isn't a patch on the he replaced.

More like the sensible option...

Montezuma's AutumnGlo

Considering what is an expensive bass, you'd also have to factor in inflation rates etc. A bass that cost £1,000 new say 10 years ago would cost a fair bit more now (don't know the numbers, but it will be more). Though I would say that a "premium" bass would cost between £1,000-£2,000, and "premium plus" (i.e. "expensive") would be more than £2,000. What we also need to factor in is that new, "inexpensive" basses are better quality than they've ever been.

Don't forget that it is an ever so slightly different beast from your FSO's, if you play finger style, try playing it between the pickups rather than between the bridge and the pickup.

Agree that it doesn't look like a FireGlo, my guess would be an AutumnGlo as suggested, but that is a guess. Looks like an early/mid-80's 4003 with the split scratch plate, but it looks like it's in fantastic condition. Enjoy!
