I too have never held, played or even seen a 4001CS.
(If anyone wants to help me out though by lending me one for a bit, then that'd be grand!)

Re:
Ned's ATomic Dustbin had 2 bassplayers and the one was playing a Ric like a guitar while the other played a musicman... Funny you should mention them - I bought a CD of theirs the other day. Weren't really Grunge though - Grebo I think instead. Still, quite right - two bass players. One (Musicman S...

Is the story behind this genuine?
I'd be interested in what people think:

It's a very nice looking bass, not so sure about the upside down looking TRC though.

Re: That NEW string sound
Personally whether flats or rounds, dont like the tone when they are fresh out of the pack, I love when the strings settle in and lose that extreme brightness to them.. I'm completely the other way - strings are little or no use to me once the brightness is gone. Horses for courses though, isn't it...

Fender Jazz, preferably with block inlays.

Re: Japanese RM1999's re-issues
Cheers guys! Stunning looking basses but yeah, wallet-worringly high in the price. Ah well, I shall continue dreaming. :D Pete - could it be a tweaked c64 rather than a v63? The tweaking would have included correcting the headstock. And could it be this run of RM style basses that's responsible for ...

Japanese RM1999's re-issues
I spotted a few of these recently on the Kurosawa Music website. At first I thought hmmm, v63's, but they are clearly advertising them as "Rickenbacker 1999"s. All skirting around 2500-3000 quid (sorry, 4000USD for those not UK based) and all fireglo. They had about four up when last I loo...

Re: No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed - live 1969
Much prefer the bass sound from back then - proper treble clank.
Would dearly love a set of Taurus 3's but I'm the same - the other half would actually kill me if I was to rock up with a set! That said, if you're doing alright with the PK5 then you're right to hang back for the 8 string.

Re: Pickguards.
Just a quick thanks for the responses guys - I'll be going with Pickguardian (once I get paid!).
Will stick a photo up after it's done.
One more question though - would the pickup cover be compatible with a horseshoe surround?

Re: No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed - live 1969
The M13 is the business. Our singer got one a couple of months ago. I've only tried it though his guitar but its a pretty astounding piece of kit. I'm using an old Korg AX1B - I wouldn't trust it for changing effects for the same reason as your Boss - signal gap when you step on it. Still, it has a ...
