Different is not better. Why choose a 4004 over a 4003S? Ah, sorry - I omitted part of the explanation. I already have a 4001s, therefore I suspect the 4003s to be too close to that one soundwise. A 4004 would - presumably - have something new to add to my "bass sound bank". At least that...

TI flats on the 4001 -67 (and Optima flats on my -72 Jazz)

Ive had three RMs and also done this adjustment to my CS. Just loosen the nuts off slightly and evenly..no need to unscrew them very much. Hold the bass body between your knees or use your foot to hold it against a sofa again between your knees. Ive done this with the strings on but slackened off b...

Use the classic rod technique by manually putting the neck where it needs to be, then tighten to hold in place. It requires clamping the bass down, then also clamping the headstock with full string tension. You might have to try it a couple times. OK, so this applies to a back bow as well? That was...

A question for those of you (probably all of you) who know this better than me: If I check neck.jpg with straightedge.jpg and notice a significant back bow, most pronounced on the D/G side, would then this trussrods.jpg be a good strategy to get the neck straight again? As you can see from the last ...
