They are currently spaced like mine.....next to the neck. Woody's is used so that's why I asked.

My preferred spacing....

Tony, I ordered this baby about two years ago. It arrived last month with this pup configuration.

Congrats Woody, the 4004 is a great bass.

I am thinking you roundwound guys need a little more bass? I sure got plenty with chromes and I have the neck pickup in the "not so close to the neck" position. I am trying to brighten(growl, clank, etc.) mine up a touch by trying GHS Brite flats, but alas, I haven't had time yet to change them out.

sorry i left work and was offline till now-brian it is the "intermediate"spacing,which is what i wanted. i had a 4002 for over a decade,and really like the tone coming off the pickups further back-like the back pickup on your lk. i tend to play more singer-songwriter coffee-house sort of music,as well as mellow rock and think this bass is gonna be great. i also tend to play fingerstyle near the bridge . mike tells me this one has a low action,too!

DONE.

Tony, please elaborate.

It appears I've crossed over into the Dark Side as well...

I wasn't PLANNING on this....

Thanks for your help on this Brain, you should get a commission on these babies!

J.Gary, sweet. I'm COUNTING on the backlog!

What made you decide the Cii over the Laredo?

"Brain"....apparently we haven't met.

But I still don't know what you're getting.....you're killin' me.....

Congrats on the 4004, Woody. You might change your mind about the gold hardware on mapleglo when you get the bass. I didn't think I'd like the gold hardware on jetglo, but when my 4004Cii JG arrived, I grew fond of it quickly.

keep the bling!

Tony, I like them both. As Jared mentioned, I went for the "bling" of the Trans Red.

Deja vu, Brian!

BTW, in an episode of the TV series Herman's Head (yeah, I know, not the best name for a show - I didn't name it!), they had a self-parody bit in which the characters were watching TV and a promo for a new series, Brian's Brain was shown, upon which they made comments how lame the concept was, how it would never last one season, etc.
