Lars: strenger i Norge er så vanvittig dyrt, så jeg bestiller nok fra nettet uansett. Men takk!

Åssen utstyr har du?

Var nettopp inne på hjemmesiden din og så hva du hadde! Fin, fint! Er bare å si ifra hvis du tenker på å kvitte deg meg '69 P eller '51 RI P!

Har forøvrig en '63 P og en '75 Rick selv!

What Rudi said....

Jeff's right about the tailpieces on the old basses. I think the neck will warp before the tailpiece rises a fraction...

I haven't had any significant tailpiece lift on both 2000 and 96 4003's. The 96 I bought second hand and came with regular gauge Fender SS flats which are the bass string equivalent of telephone cables. I have also had strings of equal and higher tension on many of my 4001's, most can take it but the ones that can't, watch out. You can tell right away, if the neck bows a lot when it is brought up to tune and it seems difficult to straighten out, then the neck is probably too weak.

Hey Ruddi are you in the US? I have a set of D'addario Chromes that you could have if you want. I got them for my ripper and they were too short so I never used them at all. I ended up going with TIs on the gibson and don't think I will ever use these. They are the heavy set 105-45. All I would want would be shipping and you could have em if you want.

Hello Julian.

No, I'm not in the US. I live in Norway. But I can pay the shipping to Norway, no problem.

Through PayPal?
