oops, i said 79, i meant 80, sorry
i just got my 4003, and i can see the tilt, plain as day, but on my 4001, the tilt is there, but it's almost imperceptible

the headstocks tilt back now? Interesting
I don't pick up the 4003 until Sunday morning, it's been on order for nearly 2 years, so I'm pretty excited to see what it looks like

wow! I just got word from my dealership that the MID4003LH I ordered way back in 2006 just made it to japan, I pick it up on Sunday June 21
I hope it looks as good as this one does!
I certainly hope it has full-width inlays, they look great!

speaking of replacing strap bolts, i went to the hardware store and found machine screws with the same thread as the rick ones,
then I took fender strap buttons and filed out the inside with a diamond file so that the bolts would fit through them

sorry to shake everything up, i had only intended to put out a different perspective which i had found interesting, i apologize for the direction this thread has taken and for all of the misunderstandings that have occurred. It was not my intention to claim that i know more than anyone else, (a few ...

It kinda goes without saying that chords are made up from some of the notes of the scale.

well, if you were to read what i've written, then you would understand that this is exactly what i'm saying

chords or double stops are the bare minimum of simultaneous notes that you need to determine ...

ok, i'm sorry what i said was not 'left brain' and technical enough to please you jb,

i realise you are a music major, but sometimes you have to pull back your logic and 'left brain' logical learnin's and realize there is more than one way to skin a cat

in jazz or rock, does the bassist not play ...

I never said anything about playing a full seven note scale as a chord, sheesh

true three notes do not make a scale, but they are derived from the scale in question

i meant to say 'Like' but you get the idea,
chords are "kinda like" solid scales and that scales are "kinda like" fluid chords,

of course three notes don't make a scale, but you have many triads right? your diminished triads and your minor triads, and they all use different notes from the scale ...

the guitarist in my band told me a cool thing he learned about scales once

he said that scales are fluid chords, and chords are solid scales

I remember seeing fret-lights on Jamiroquai's bass when I was in HS

I'm actually kind of upset with the shop, I found their site online, and it still has it listed as for sale.
