Ah, that is disappointing news :(
As much as I'd love to try them and have no intentions of selling the bass, I don't know if I could bring myself to actually go ahead with the drilling. Does no one at all make a lightweight tuner that's a direct fit? Seems like a gap in the market to me or are ...

Lightweight tuners?
So after putting a set of hipshot ultralites on my precision a little while ago, I'm seriously considering doing the same to my 4003.
As far as the reasoning goes, I find that I'm a lot more comfortable when a bass is somewhat 'body heavy' I guess you could say and although I wouldn't say my Rick ...

Re: New 4004 issues/advice
Excuse the lengthy absence from the thread, I haven't had nearly as much free time lately as I would like, just wanted to let everyone know that I got the bass returned to the store again. I explained that I simply wasn't happy with or willing to accept it for the various reasons discussed and to ...

Re: New 4004 issues/advice
Well I emailed the store explaining the situation and arranged to bring it back in the other day, where their tech/manager had a look over it. I'm not completely convinced how much things were remedied, and I can't say I'm feeling much better about it. Here's my account of what happened - I ...

Re: New 4004 issues/advice
Oh dear
Yes it's a schaller as far as I'm aware. I got it from Guitar Guitar in Glasgow, guessing I best get in touch with them and see about taking back into the store?

New 4004 issues/advice
Hi folks, heavily against my financial judgement I pulled the trigger on a brand new 4004 a few weeks ago - I just couldn't resist it in the end and you only live once etc. Unfortunately, I appear to having some issues and was hoping to gain some advice and wisdom from you guys. I discovered pretty ...

Re: 'Dull' fretboard?
Cheers for the advice, gave it a good clean and polish yesterday. Still seems to be a lot of the visible scratches but it certainly buffed up to a lovely sheen! Thanks

'Dull' fretboard?
Hi folks, been doing a little searching but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. Some time ago I took my '03 4003 to a nearby store for a pro setup, I got it back and everything seemed in order, used it that very night at a gig. Unfortunately I had to have an operation very shortly after ...
