Nice pair of 4005s Ken, and with that low mileage freeway, you're really going places!

You did say '68 405, back then there wasn't much traffic.

Nice bass Ken.

Double bass sound? You mean other then the fact that its not a fretless? I thought I would kind of play my fretless and my pace bass the same. But I dont at all.

Any which way. Still a awesome bass. Image

Its not bad. I mean... its not a double bass or anything. The strings are closer together and the fret board isnt as wide (cause of the string thing). As well as it has markers on the side. But its not so bad for a cross over instrument. As well as it cost less then the other electric stand ups. Thats why i got it. Cost really. Over all tho its kind of kool. I play it every now and then and it gets peoples attention. My metal band even wants me to use it some. So we are writing a song or two around it.
