Brian, have you considered a new fret board in the "aircraft carrier" style of design? I've seen such a mod and wondered if it was a bad idea or if it could let you save your neck section ...
All I wanna do is rock!

Not really my cup-o-tea Kira. If I need a 5-er in the future I think I'll just hunt down another Wal but for now I'll just string my Blackened Laredo BEAD and call it a day.kiramdear wrote:Brian, have you considered a new fret board in the "aircraft carrier" style of design?

Man I'd be all over a 4004Cii/5 if they ever started making them again. I'm still kicking myself for not having the store order one for me when they were in production.
Re: Model of the Week 26: 4004Cii/5 "Cheyenne II"
Why, so you can reroute the body and replace the pickups? I've played three of these and every single one of them had weak B string and usually G string response. Especially on the bridge pickup. To clarify, that statement applies to the original C5's, and not what RIC will eventualy replace it with.robj wrote:Man I'd be all over a 4004Cii/5 if they ever started making them again.

Perhaps wishfull thinking on my part it probably is a good thing I didn't get an original really and your point is well taken.
That said would you mind a PM on a somewhat related subject?

I'm looking forward to soon make a vid with my Trans Red Cii/5 just to show everyone that they didn't ALL have a poor B & G string response.

Well, I certainly appreciate everyone's stoic patience!
Being in bands takes up all my musical time. The trans red Cii/5 usually resides at one of my bands studios so I don't have to go back and forth with a 5 string.
I guess I should just take some video when I'm playing it in a song.

Do I spy a Punch Factory up there?
Re: Model of the Week 26: 4004Cii/5 "Cheyenne II"
Looks like it.
Did I buy mine from you, Jeff?

Yes sir! I liked the way it sounded...when it worked. It's too delicate to handle gigging, Even though the pedalboard it was on is in an enclosed case. I got tired of fixing it. Now I have a Darkglass Hyperluminal. It works really great to compress the sound when you lay it on the strings. I had to post that before Jeffrey did!jps wrote:Do I spy a Punch Factory up there?

I sold mine to Rhys Chandler, not sure if he still has it. The last compressor I've owned was the Universal Audio LA-610 Mk II that another forumite bought from me about ten years ago.teeder wrote:Looks like it.
