Me playing my old v63 in my old band

Thank you all guys. You have explained it very well as I expected. I love this site

Hi all;

Metin is here again :)

I need to know if bridge and neck pickup outputs are the same on new hi-gains. I also wonder if they are the same in older (pre hi gain) 4003's and 4001's.
Can I use one pickup instead of the other?
I want to change the bridge pickup of a 4001 with a hi-gain (2009 ...

Fantastic bass but I think it would be an example of an over priced 4001v63. Especially in this slow economical situation.

Here is an example of trust rod adjusters in the body side instead of headstock. My 1981 4003 JG.

Thanks guys, I will do.
I hope it is related with the setup (action etc.).

Can you provide sound clips of you 4003 and V63 to give us examples of the difference in tone between the two? I assume you are referring to the tone/sound of your two basses, or is it the feel of the strings on the two basses in question?

Is there anyone who suffers from v63's high tension strings? I realized it is not related with the string type or the set up of the bass. There is obviously big different between 4001 and couple of 4003's I have and my v63. Am I the only one who experience it or is this normal? I really wonder it.

Yep, another The Sundays fan here... 4-5 times in a year I come back and listen to them. They're one of my lifetime favorite bands.

Very nice tunes Joshua, congragulations. Keep it up. Your playing and sound is also cool. Groovy first 2 songs and jazzy last ones are my favorite
