Shame.

Respect!!!

Thank you all mates for your feedback!!
I actually love the capacitor effect and I won' t remove it. The pickups are set rather high on profile.
I also love the Rick's special tone !! ( yeas I m a "Ric" type of guy :) ). My Cort is a passive one and I love it as well (many memories).
I have to say ...

Thnx for info!I love my Ricks tone but sometimes I feel like I need some more "power".

Yeahh!!
Thnx alot.

Hi there mates! My question for today is: Do old pickups wear in time concerning input signal level and quality?
I have the honor to own a 1976 4001 and compared to my (first bass) 500$ Cort has the half input signal on preamp.
Do I have to change something?
Thnx in advance!!

Once more! He He!!

Hi there !
The upright is a second handed 3/4 Romanian 80's bass.
There has been some refinishing with natural resin by the first owner.
The back is made by maple wood.
