Is there any way of knowing how many COY basses and guitars were made?

My 2005 Blueboy with a toaster in the neck position.

Simple song, easy to play. Simple song indeed. And easy to play too. But it's very difficult to play it right, just like most of the simple songs. I played this song with my first band. At the time I used my Fenix P copy, the only bass I had, and later on I used my 4003. Nowadays I do have a Rivoli...

I played one some time ago and it sounded great, very warm and rich tone, quite loud too. It was a different model, it didn't have the extra soundholes but it did have those string anchors on the soundboard. I don't remember if it had the adjustable neck, but it was set up well and easy to play.

I have the same book, the bass looks great in that color. So the way the neck is set is not typical for WB basses. Did they change it at a certain point in time maybe?

I heard that sound when you played Chris' 4005.

I prefer the sound of a 4003's bridge pickup. The 4005 is a beautiful bass, but I don't think I'd play it much because of ...

That first picture needs more Rickenbackers.

-Squier JV Precision, awesome bass
-MightyMite Frankenstein Precision
-Fenix P copy, my first bass
-Epiphone Rivoli
-Richwood RB-90 (defretted)
-Homemade bass I built myself
-Cheap acoustic bass, a Mayhill
-Candycane Jazzbass. It's so cute. And it's pink too...

The BA115 is a great amp, I've had mine for two years now and it's really good. I like the sound, pure solid state Ampeg (although I prefer tubes). If you like the sound of an Ampeg, get this combo. I guess mine is US made, but I really don't care where it's from. A good amp is a good amp. A couple ...

Long live MFSL!

Metal? Rock? As far as I know they're all made of wood...
