Thanks to all. I've been playing it the last couple of days and loving every growl, belch, and snarl. :wink: Action's nice and low and intonation pretty much spot-on. Was going to give it the Scratch X / Zymol / Dr. Stringfellow treatment, but it cleaned up nicely with basic guitar polish. I'm thin...

I play the RotoBass 35-95 exclusively....they last a LONG time and do NOT eat the frets....I would play them over ANY stainless string...

the last real vintage instrument I had in my two mits was a 1967 4000, ( I am omitting the 4005 for the moment)...the neck on this new recreation is NOTHING like the old bass. the old neck was a fraction of the thickness of the recreation.
